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

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.

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.

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.

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.
