Test: The new Wahoo Tickr and Wahoo Tickr X chest straps offer the best wearing comfort with their ergonomic fit and also provide a wide range of functions. The new Tickr X, for example, now sends even more detailed running analysis data to smartwatches and end devices.
With a new edition of its Tickr heart rate monitors, the fitness manufacturer Wahoo provides detailed measurements and the best connectivity with a comfortable fit. Both the Tickr and the Tickr X have been given a new design and updated firmware.
A new, slimmer shape and integrated strap design make the latest Tickr and Tickr X the lightest heart rate monitors on the market at just 48g (pod and strap together). Both devices now apply only 12mm under the functional clothing. Both straps can now pair up to three Bluetooth devices simultaneously in addition to the ANT+ connections. For ease of use, the LEDs are now located at the top of the pod, making it easy for users to verify that their devices are connected and recording data. By increasing battery life by almost 50%, the heart rate belts powered by a CR2032 button cell now allow up to 500 hours of battery life.
“We redesigned the Tickr and Tickr X to offer users state-of-the-art functionality in a design that is effortless to use and very comfortable to wear. TICKR and TICKR X redefine the requirements for a heart rate monitor. They combine unmatched performance, comfort and wearability, whether you're running a quick lunch break or running a marathon.” – Katie DuPree Wahoo Product Manager
