TICKR FIT Optical Heart Rate Monitor Armband

Perfect for tracking heartrate.

I've put it through the wringer

I purchased this so I could use it with Zwift and my Wahoo Kickr. The heart rate monitor works great and lasts a long time on each charge. I like that it came with two options for the bands depending on where you want to wear it or wrist size.

Really happy so far!

This armband monitor seems to work really well. Easy to put on, stays in place, and monitors consistently and accurately for me. No problems with Bluetooth like other reviewers have mentioned. I connect to my iPhone directly (when indoor training) and also my Wahoo Mini (when riding outside) with no issues.

Love it

Always found chest straps restrictive. Wrist HRM are uncomfortable for me, but better than chest. Forearm is perfect - I forget it's there. No issues syncing to ANT+ and Zwift, to Garmin bike computers, and to CatEye bike computers. Discovered immediately. No fuss. The only downside is yet another device-specific charger. Also, if you want to buy replacement straps, Wahoo forces you to buy both sizes in a 2-pack, instead of just one or two of the same size.

Wish it worked better

I hate chest straps, so I was excited to get my TICKR FIT and use it. When it works properly, I love it. The problem is, it's inconsistent. To Wahoo's credit, they replaced it - twice - and I've continued to have the same issues with the replacements as the original. Also, I've experienced the same issues when connected to a Wahoo BOLT as I do with my new Garmin 830... so its definitely the TICKR FIT that is the issue and not the bike computer(s). The issue is that sometimes the FIT will just stop responding - and drop out - OR it'll keep sending the bike computer the same heartrate measurement and not change. i.e. I come to a stop and drink and what-not and it's still broadcasting that my HR is 175.... or I'll do a hard climb and it'll still be broadcasting that my HR is 110. It doesn't do this all the time, but it does it enough that it's infuriating and makes me hate the device. I really am not a fan of chest straps, so I continue to use the FIT... but I'll eventually replace it with another brand and be done with this thing. I honestly wouldn't buy another until they work out the connectivity kinks.

First setup impossible with Nokia 7.1

Setup was a pain with my Nokia 7.1, but worked well with other phone. After firmware update on the bolt, it also connected with the 7.1 Could have told me before that I get sent a pink one.. Except for that, just positive experience

Great product and good or the planet !

Great product ! Good to buy product totally fine and as new as possible.

Like a New Product

Great Product and great band, can't be more happier with the technical support and the quality of the products.

Not disappointed

Ive been using Wahoo sensors for years (as the smell of my heart strap will show). They have worked flawlessly so buying the bolt was an obvious choice. Not disappointed. Works flawlessly to the extent, I dont know how I managed with my old cycle computer. Its simply well thought out and clearly designed by riders for riders

Element Bolt

Easy to set up with the companion app and easy file in- and export. Speed measurement with gps with high variation. Recommend extra sensor. Hight measurnent is good but high difference between accumulated up and down hight. When file is exported to oruxmaps hight measurment is exact. Map is good. Following a track works perfekt. Gps accuracy is also very good.

Great (but requires Strava summit)

You'd get five star if you didn't have to buy Strava summit to get Garmin levels of synchronisation.
