Review on Wahoo Fitness TICKR Monitor Stealth by Mohmed Burt

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not great for exercise and fitness

Some rubbish. The only thing worse than no heart rate data is inaccurate heart rate data. It happily displays random heart rates throughout my ride. When I put it on for the first time and wet the bands as instructed, it was reading 175 beats per minute. By now my real heart rate was around 80-90. It continued to read high readings until I got home (it rarely updated new inaccurate readings). After the trip I used the utility to check if there was a firmware update and it showed 46bpm. This was also incorrect. I just finished my ride and it was probably around 90-100 bpm. I've been trying to get this to work for weeks. When I first got it it was bad but not that bad so I updated the firmware. This only worsened the situation. I also read the instructions carefully to make sure it wasn't operator error. I even updated my bike computer's firmware. Eventually I gave in and ordered a competitor's heart rate monitor. Worst of all, her old heart rate monitor worked really well. I gave it to my wife because she didn't have it and she "upgraded" to it. I wish I had returned it when I first received it.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some issues
