Kitletics Review · 7.4 Solid
Wahoo TICKR is a heart-rate monitor. Previous-generation dual-band chest HR strap — superseded by TRACKR for most new buyers. I'd shortlist it for simple dual connectivity. The trade-off is superseded by TRACKR — Wahoo TRACKR Heart Rate is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a heart-rate monitor, not a one-product rotation.
