Review on 🏃 Wahoo TICKR HR Monitor by Latoya Luckett

I bought a Wahoo heart rate monitor to replace a Garmin sensor . I have two problems with Garmin: (1) you have to unscrew the case to change the battery and the quality of the screws was poor, which makes changing the battery unnecessarily difficult, (2) the connection to my Garmin Edge 530 was not stable (sometimes the sensor was disconnected from the Garmin bike computer not recognized!) (3) There is no display that provides information about the status (active, connecting.). That extends battery life, but combined with the shaky connection, it was impossible to understand what was going on when it wasn't detected. I have used it several times. My impression was very good. (1) Of course I didn't replace the battery, but the battery cover can be opened easily with a coin, which is a huge advantage over Garmin. (2) I did some bike rides with a Garmin Edge 530, ran with an Apple Watch and played tennis. In both cases the connection was very stable and reliable. The Wahoo sensor was immediately connected to the Garmin Edge 530 (via ANT+) or the Apple Watch (via Bluetooth). (3) The LED indicators are very useful to identify the status of the sensor. I'm sure the battery life is shorter because of the turn signals, but the batteries are so cheap it doesn't bother me. And as I mentioned above, replacing the battery is not difficult. A few more notes: In terms of accuracy, I compared Garmin's heart rate log and Lang's Wahoo heart rate log when I rode the same route and they reported very similar data. Numbers so I think they are both accurate. The rubber is very similar in material. Both are convenient and easy to set up. I think this is a much better product than Garmin and I'm glad I switched to it. I might upgrade after a few months.
