 For me the the belt on here is just about perfect so I don't really have to do any adjustment on it and I can just slide it up my forearm. Now I tested this both running and also indoor cycling and outdoor cycling and one of the issues I found on outdoor cycling especially if you're mountain biking or if you're road riding and you're on some rough roads or if there's bumps and stuff like that if you don't have the strap secured up here and you're jarring on your bike this happened to me at least once where the strap came down around my wrist and obviously I just didn't have it on tight enough but when you're going 25 miles an hour and all of a sudden it slides down there you don't really have time to slide it back up you have to wait until you're slowing down or get off your bike to sort of position it back in place. Now on the indoor cycling I have a review on the Apple TV and connecting it with Zwift I'll use this this just makes a lot of sense it's really easy I don't have to worry about did I put my heart strap on or not I can just slide this on at any time when I want to go and I can go. For running I feel like it's actually more comfortable than having a chest strap on that's just preference so you know for those that don't like chest straps this would be definitely a good option to check out and again for the Wahoo products the Ticker X and the Ticker Fit they're the same price so you can sort of decide which one you want to go for

 Now with this the way it works is it uses and records based on the electrical pulse that your heart sends out and then records that information onto here and then relays it through either Bluetooth or amp plus but what's neat about the the fit or where I found it pretty useful is if you're riding indoors a lot of times what happens is I'll put on my biking kit and then I'll realize that I haven't had my heart rate monitor on and I want to use it for a ride or something and with the chest straps then you're having to take your shirt off or you're having to sort of finagle your chest straps because I wear bibs so finagle them around the bibs and it's just sort of a pain but with the fit it's really easy you just slide it over your forearm and then you're good to go and the same thing when you want to take it off it's real easy to take off. Now the way it works is you charge it it'll last 25 to 30 hours per charge full charge and you hold the there's a little blue button you hold it down for about four seconds a bunch of green lights start flashing and then once they start flashing and it's on you just put it on your forearm and it'll start reading your heart rate. Now I've seen reviews comparing the different heart rate readings from a strap from a watch that has the the optical sensor and then from the Wahoo Fit and it seems to be they're all sort of close but as far as accuracy the the chest strap definitely seems to be the most accurate as far as reading and then the the fit seems to be the second most and then if you have a watch with a heart rate sensor on it that seems to be the least effective way to monitor your heart rate. They're all pretty good though I mean it's just a few beats plus or minus that they might miss out on

 It's an optical heart rate reader and the way it works is you can just put it on your forearm and when you turn it on these lights glow the little green lights and they'll register your heart rate and then you can send it to whatever device you want to see your heart rate on so in this case I could use my wahoo bolt the element bolt or just the element if I'm on my bike I can use Apple TV if I'm riding in Zwift if I have a watch that's either Bluetooth or amp plus compatible which a lot of watches are today you can relay the heart rate to the watch so it's pretty cool. Now wahoo also makes two chest straps for recording heart rate and so it's the ticker X and the ticker so the ticker X is the wahoo's at least right now top-of-line heart rate monitor and it also does cadence so if you're running this isn't a bad option to go with and it also does cadence if you're riding inside on an indoor bike now the ticker fit does not have that capability so the ticker X is a little bit more advanced as far as what it can do functionally but the ticker fit with the optical reading is a little bit more advanced technology as far as being able to read your heart rate just on your arm. Now with this the way it works is it uses and records based on the electrical pulse that your heart sends out and then records that information onto here and then relays it through either Bluetooth or amp plus but what's neat about the the fit or where I found it pretty useful is if you're riding indoors a lot of times what happens is I'll put on my biking kit and then I'll realize that I haven't had my heart rate monitor on and I want to use it for a ride or something and with the chest straps then you're having to take your shirt off or you're having to sort of finagle your chest straps because I wear bibs so finagle them around the bibs and it's just sort of a pain but with the fit it's really easy you just slide it over your forearm and then you're good to go and the same thing when you want to take it off it's real easy to take off. Now the way it works is you charge it it'll last 25 to 30 hours per charge full charge and you hold the there's a little blue button you hold it down for about four seconds a bunch of green lights start flashing and then once they start flashing and it's on you just put it on your forearm and it'll start reading your heart rate

Wahoo Tickr Fit Heart Rate Monitor Review (TICKRfit 2019)

 This has affected my results somewhat (but I'm still playing with the app). Bicycle tracking appears to be smoother.  The other issue, as many others have mentioned, is that the strap wears out at a rate higher than average. First, it is poorly designed and requires fiddling which doesn't help when you're in the middle of a workout

I got this 15 months ago and have been using it on average once a week. It has been fairly accurate pairing with the phone directly via Bluetooth. It was my go-to solution for long runs (3-4 hours once a week, a full charge lasts 1+ month) until fairly recently when Strava discontinued direct in-app support. Strava had advertised on their website Wahoo products until recently, which implied a relationship, but Strava kicked them to the curb anyway which was disappointing

No Longer Directly Supported by Strava, Strap Issues

 But that's data for you. So there you go. Just wrapping things up with the ticker fit. You know, overall, it's a good little unit

 I'm looking at this, I'm going to guess this is a shorter strap. It's a little bit thinner than this one right there by the looks of things. Maybe a little bit tiny and thinner, I think. And probably shorter

 But right here is interesting. This is after I stopped taking the photos and I started riding again, you'll see that initially the ticker just did that same flatline like for 90 beats per minute for no particular reason. And then the heart rate strap was just fine. It showed the rise in heart rate, took another couple minutes

 So that's a bit of a bummer. But then it's really, really smooth here. A single artifact on the heart rate strap randomly up to like almost 200, which is incorrect, of course. Things are good there

 Also, it only uploads steps to MyFitnessPal. It does not upload exercises so I don't get the calorie compensation in their calorie tracker. What it tracks as steps, I sometimes question. I get credit for steps just for moving my arm while seated

 What it tracks as steps, I sometimes question. I get credit for steps just for moving my arm while seated. So, for those that do not have precise data gather and integration requirements, and just want a general purpose tracker, the FitBit Charge 4 is okay if you can live with the short comings. Olympians should look at other products

 However, two key exercise options are missing: spin bike/stationary bike and weight training. A second problem I have with it is the HRM is not Ant+/Bluetooth compatible so my Echelon bike up cannot use it (and I have dinged the Echelon bike app for this failure as well). Also, it only uploads steps to MyFitnessPal. It does not upload exercises so I don't get the calorie compensation in their calorie tracker

I had an original FitBit that at the time didn't meet my requirements. I bought this one accepting it will be good enough to help me track fitness. However, two key exercise options are missing: spin bike/stationary bike and weight training. A second problem I have with it is the HRM is not Ant+/Bluetooth compatible so my Echelon bike up cannot use it (and I have dinged the Echelon bike app for this failure as well)

At the 4th iteration, lacking innovation and features

 But it got dinged a little bit on the value, coming in at the same $80 that the Ticker X does, but losing a bunch of the running and metrics that you get with that chest rate, heart rate chest strap. I think rightfully so, that what you give up in those metrics, you get in comfort if you are somebody that prefers to have a heart rate monitor on your forearm as opposed to your chest. So if you are somebody that doesn't like a chest strap, check it out, and if you are somebody that isn't yet subscribed, hit that subscribe button below, and if you are subscribed, thank you for watching, and share this with your favorite training partner who has the stinkiest, oldest strap in the world.

 However, that's not really enough to make me want to be confident about swimming with it. Another difference is that the chest strap has a standard coin-sized battery, whereas the Ticker Fit has a rechargeable by a USB 30-hour battery. The heart rate readings on a chest strap are actually reading the electrical impulses that are coming from your body, whereas the Fit, it's using the new optical sensor technology that isn't quite as accurate. In addition to that, you also don't get running analytics like you do on a Ticker X

 If anything, it was off by one beat at most, but it seems like the data collection might be a little bit more averaged out here with the Ticker Fit. Let's go to the run, and we see that same sort of thing that even though I set the smoothing in training peaks here to take the most amount of data possible on both, you can see that the blue line has just smoothed out a fair bit more when it gets uploaded. So is it accurate? Yes. Is it accurate for the scientific testing that my buddy Daryl Hurry might need? Maybe not

Is it Worth Trying this Wahoo Tickr Fit Heart Rate Armband? | Triathlon Taren

 I'd have to temporarily disable BT on my phone, before the strap will connect correctly. Sometimes, other devices, like my kids' iPads, will cause enough BT interference to disrupt the TICKR FIT's ability to connect. I'd have to power cycle the strap multiple times before it'll re-connect.  On the plus side, the strap is accurate and very comfortable to wear

The downfall for this device is the single simultaneous bluetooth connection. Half the time, my phone would grab the connection, blocking my ELEMNT Bolt (if I'm riding outside) or my Apple TV (if I'm riding indoors). I'd have to temporarily disable BT on my phone, before the strap will connect correctly. Sometimes, other devices, like my kids' iPads, will cause enough BT interference to disrupt the TICKR FIT's ability to connect

 I'd have to power cycle the strap multiple times before it'll re-connect.  On the plus side, the strap is accurate and very comfortable to wear. It's convenient being able to slip the strap around my arm instead of having to remember to put it on before my jersey.

Great when it can connect

 It does work So something there to be sitting on the shelf to grab and put on and works. Happy days thumbs up thumbs crossways It's a premium level product price wise you're looking at a hundred and ten dollars Australian looking at $80 u.s Or 65 pounds. So it's a premium level product to solve those problems that I gave a thumbs up to There's no additional features like we see with the ticker X with accelerometers and memory storage on board It's just a simple heart rate monitor that broadcasts and finally onto the battery life 30 hours is still one hour a day For a full month, which isn't too bad and it's quite simple to throw it on the charger as you saw before Compare that to the ticker X though

 I've used Polar heart rate straps for years big clunky things We've upgraded to a few different revisions from other companies. I'm stuck on the Wahoo ticker X for now I don't mind this unit, but it's a little inconvenient, especially when you're fully kitted up and you forget your heart rate monitor This is an interesting solution. Now. I've used the optical sensor in the forerunner for a while

Lasted 18 months

 I'm leaving it at home. Alternatively, you can use a sports watch. These use optical technology to measure the pulse in your arms, but really, they struggle to maintain consistent contact. This means during exercise, it can throw off the reading

 It also comes with an IPX7 water resistance rating, which means it can handle the rain, no worries, but you probably shouldn't take it swimming. So who is this for? Well, if you appreciate the convenience of a sports watch but not the expense, and still want an accurate heart rate measurement, the Tika Fit is definitely worth a look. Head to pushys.com for the best deal on the Tika Fit and all of Wahoo's products

 So let's show you their latest offering. Now currently, there are two ways to measure your heart rate. You can use a chest strap, which measures the electrical impulses produced by your heart, similar to how an ECG works. The problem with these is that they can be uncomfortable, and personally I find if I forget to put it on before my jersey and nicks, there's no way I'm undressing to get it

 Chest strap versions have been uncomfortable, and wrist mounted models have been notoriously inaccurate. So Wahoo has taken the best of both versions and combined them into one. So let's show you their latest offering. Now currently, there are two ways to measure your heart rate
