Wearable Heart Rate Monitors

The TRACKR HEART RATE chest strap is the more accurate of the two because it reads the electrical signal of your heartbeat directly, which responds instantly to changes in effort. The TICKR FIT optical armband is very accurate for most training but can lag slightly on sharp intervals. If you do a lot of high-intensity or race-specific work, choose the chest strap. If comfort matters most, the armband is excellent.

No. The TICKR FIT reads heart rate optically from your forearm or upper arm, so there is nothing to wear across your chest. That makes it a good choice if you find chest straps uncomfortable or hard to fit.

Yes. Both monitors broadcast over Bluetooth and ANT+, so they pair with Wahoo bike computers, most GPS watches, phones, and indoor apps like Zwift, TrainingPeaks, and many more. TRACKR HEART RATE can connect to more than one of these at the same time, while TICKR FIT can only accommodate up to one connection at a time.

The TRACKR HEART RATE recharges over USB-C and lasts up to 100 hours per charge, so there is no coin cell to replace. The TICKR FIT recharges on an included magnetic puck and lasts up to 30 hours. You can check remaining battery in the Wahoo app.

Both monitors carry an IPX7 water resistance rating, so they handle sweat, rain, and brief submersion. They are built for training in wet conditions rather than for lap-pool swim tracking.
