Here is the TICKR connected to TrainerRoad and Zwift at the same time.Īs for accuracy, Wahoo sent me the TICKER months ago and it’s been my primary heart rate monitor for the past few weeks. To solve this issue, Wahoo and other companies started building multi-Bluetooth channels into their devices to allow for multiple connections. This presented a problem if you connect your heart rate monitor to your phone as an example and forget to disconnect it or turn off the app that was using your heart rate monitor.

However, unlike ANT+, Bluetooth can only connect to one device at a time. Bluetooth, on the other hand, is supported by almost every device out there.

When training indoors, ANT+ has been widely used but unfortunately, it’s not supported by most devices that we use indoors such as tablets, computers without an ANT+ USB key, and Apple TV.Īlso, signal interference is a major issue when using ANT+ indoors as it uses the same 2.4 GHz frequency as many other devices used inside most homes such as your WiFi. But what I really like about the new TICKR is the multi-Bluetooth support. The blue and red lights on top serve two purposes: Show you there is life in the device and connection status. I really like the slimmer design and the lights on top. We all have one of these and yes, my son chewed off the eraser. In case you don’t have an iPhone X, her is another view next to a pencil. Here is another view with the TICKR behind the iPhone X. After all, there isn’t much to expect from a heart rate chest strap other than accurately measure and transmit your heart rate but Wahoo addressed almost every point to put the TICKR ahead of its competition. But we are talking about a heart rate monitor. In the box, you will find the TICKR along with the heart rate strap and manual.
