Comroftable and Accurate
Although my health is declining (too quickly IMHO ... I'm 53) I really enjoy my workouts and I do not want to give that up. Earlier last year I developed arrhythmia during long distance biking, Something changed in my physiologically that my HRM (I was using the Bluetooth/ANT+ model from Heart Rate Monitors USA) no longer functioned properly. Sometimes the readings jumped between 145 and 220 during exercise. My cardiologist refused to even look at consumer level HRM's results and set me up with the AliveECG from AliveCor. AliveECG gives is basically a portable ECG, with automatic arrhythmia detection, that I carry with me during workouts. However, to use AliveECG I have to stop by my workout and stand by the side of the road to take the readings. What I really wanted was a real-time HRM reading that's compatible with my Strava recording devices that I can depend on (even if my cardiologist don't trust it). I gave TICKR a try reasoning that since it's one of the more "pricy" model it's probably one of the better one's. So far I can say is that the HRM readings from TICKR is much more accurate than the HRMUSA product, and identical the AliveECG whenever I bothered to check. I have not compared it to other pricy models so I can't say that's it's better than other models. But I can say that it is comfortable and provide very reliable readings.Read full review

Would probably go with a Polar next time.
The Wahoo TICKR X is a good Bluetooth HRM, but the Wahoo Apps kinda suck. The TICKR X allows you to wear the monitor and download the info to their Apps after the workout, but it doesn’t work that well. I find it much better to just wear the HRM and pair it with Runkeeper. For that you don’t need the TICKR X, any Bluetooth HRM will work.Read full review

A bargain over the "Wahoo" printed product!
One little, plastic cover on unit came off from build quality however, the unit still works great. Be careful which apps you use with it though. There are a couple of gems, but mostly garbage.

Works great! Good value for $
This heart rate monitor has worked well for the first week, and looks to last. Good value for $. It only uses one CR2032 battery vs two for the original heart rate monitor I received in a Wahoo bike computer package. I think this monitor might also last longer than the original as well.Read full review

Recommended heart rate monitor
I’ve used this for about 15 outdoor bicycle rides so far and it has worked flawlessly with my bike computer. The strap is easy to adjust. Typically I rinse the strap after a ride and let it air dry. No problems so far with this reasonably priced monitor.Read full review

Good buy but with some small tradeoffs
As some suggest, this seems a bit less sturdy than the Garmin version. Not necessarily an issue, though it could be. The strap that this one comes with attaches to each side of the device, so to remove it, you need to unsnap at least one side. At least initially, that required some meaningful pressure (which assures it doesn't come unsnapped during use), but I wonder if that constant snapping the device in and out will have an effect on its longevity.
For now I'm using the Garmin strap, which closes with a hook into a loop on the strap, so allows the device to be left attached fully to the strap. Seems safer, but I don't know if it will affect battery life. I think probably not.Read full review

The Wahoo TICKR works great.
The Wahoo TICKR works great. I had a generic heart rate strap/monitor that was a pain because it would frequently fail to connect to my phone. The Wahoo TICKR connects effortlessly. I've tried several tracking apps and my personal favorite is the Polar BEAT. The Wahoo TICKR works perfectly with that app.Read full review

A good heart rate monitor for a decent price.
Chest-worn HR monitors are most accurate. This one connects to the Wahoo RunFit mobile app and provides basic exercise metrics. Work-outs can be stored for review. The RunFit app will also connect to late-model exercise machines. My treadmill is 9 years old and does not have this functionality.
One complaint: The monitor/strap snap connector needs a redesign as it it not always reliable.Read full review

Best smart phone HR monitor out there for the price
This does everything you could want from a heart rate monitor. The app is very functional and provides instant data on your workout. I've used this as a back-up for my other activity tracking app when I forget to activate it (you can transfer data gathered from an activity to other activity tracker apps).
The only downside to this device is that you cannot easily check your heart rate while exercising unless you can easily access your phone and as a cyclist, that is not very convenient for me and I do not want to mount my phone to my handlebars. However, if that is what you want, then you need a traditional watch type monitor, which is much more expensive, and depending on the brand, unreliable. So for the money, this is a great HR and activity tracking device.Read full review

Good
Tested it out and compared it to my watch. It is quite accurate and has the advantage that I can use it indoors when I use the wind trainer with wahoo going.
