Wahoo Heart Rate Monitors
Two ways to train by heart rate, both built on Wahoo's accurate, rock-solid sensing. The TRACKR HEART RATE chest strap delivers ECG-grade precision for serious training and racing, while the TICKR FIT optical armband gives you comfortable, all-day heart rate with no chest strap at all. This guide breaks down each monitor, how they compare, full specifications, and the questions athletes ask most.
TRACKR HEART RATE
ECG-grade accuracy for serious training
¥13,800
A rechargeable, dual-band chest strap that reads your heart's electrical signal directly, giving you the fastest, most accurate readings for intervals, threshold work, and racing.
TRACKR HEART RATE pairs an ECG chest sensor with Bluetooth and ANT+ broadcasting at the same time, so it connects to your Wahoo ELEMNT bike computer, watch, phone, and indoor apps together. A rechargeable battery replaces the coin cell, and LED indicators confirm heart rate and connection at a glance.
- ECG Sensor Type
- 100hr Battery Life
- BT+ANT+ Dual Band
- IPX7 Water Rating
- USB-C Recharge
-
ECG Chest Sensing
Reads the electrical signal of every heartbeat for the fastest response and the highest accuracy, so interval spikes and recovery show up instantly with no optical lag.
-
Dual-Band, Multi-Connect
Broadcasts over Bluetooth and ANT+ at once and holds up to three Bluetooth connections together, so your watch, bike computer, phone, and indoor apps all see your heart rate at the same time.
-
Rechargeable, No Coin Cell
A built-in battery recharges over USB-C to a magnetic induction point, and runs for up to 100 hours per charge, so there is no fiddly coin cell to pop out and replace.
-
LED Status Indicators
On-strap LEDs confirm that heart rate is detected and that a device has connected, so you know you are tracking before you start the workout.
TICKR FIT
Comfortable heart rate, no chest strap
¥11,500
An optical armband that reads heart rate from your forearm or upper arm, so you get reliable training data without wearing anything across your chest.
TICKR FIT slips onto your arm and uses an optical sensor to track heart rate through every workout. It broadcasts over Bluetooth and ANT+ to phones, watches, and apps, recharges on a simple clip for up to 30 hours of use, and ships with two strap sizes for a secure, comfortable fit.
- Optical Sensor Type
- 30hr Battery Life
- BT+ANT+ Dual Band
- IPX7 Water Rating
- 2 sizes Strap Fit
-
Optical Arm Sensing
An optical sensor reads heart rate from the forearm or upper arm, where movement artifacts are lower than at the wrist, for dependable data without a chest strap.
-
Dual-Band Connectivity
Sends heart rate over Bluetooth and ANT+ so it pairs with the Wahoo app, most watches and bike computers, and indoor training apps like Zwift and Peloton.
-
Up to 30 Hours, Rechargeable
A rechargeable battery clips on to charge and lasts up to 30 hours, enough for weeks of typical training between top-ups.
-
Two Strap Sizes
Includes small and large straps for a snug fit on different arm sizes, keeping the sensor steady so readings stay accurate as you move.

Battery Status
Check remaining battery in the app so you always recharge before a long ride or race, not during it.
What You Need To Know
The most common questions about the two Wahoo heart rate monitors.
Which is more accurate, TRACKR or TICKR FIT?
The TRACKR HEART RATE chest strap is the more accurate of the two because it reads the electrical signal of your heartbeat directly, which responds instantly to changes in effort. The TICKR FIT optical armband is very accurate for most training but can lag slightly on sharp intervals. If you do a lot of high-intensity or race-specific work, choose the chest strap. If comfort matters most, the armband is excellent.
Do I need a chest strap with the TICKR FIT?
No. The TICKR FIT reads heart rate optically from your forearm or upper arm, so there is nothing to wear across your chest. That makes it a good choice if you find chest straps uncomfortable or hard to fit.
Will these work with my watch, bike computer, and other training apps?
Yes. Both monitors broadcast over Bluetooth and ANT+, so they pair with Wahoo bike computers, most GPS watches, phones, and indoor apps like Zwift, TrainingPeaks, and many more. TRACKR HEART RATE can connect to more than one of these at the same time, while TICKR FIT can only accommodate up to one connection at a time.
How is the battery charged and how long does it last?
The TRACKR HEART RATE recharges over USB-C and lasts up to 100 hours per charge, so there is no coin cell to replace. The TICKR FIT recharges on an included magnetic puck and lasts up to 30 hours. You can check remaining battery in the Wahoo app.
Can I swim or shower with them?
Both monitors carry an IPX7 water resistance rating, so they handle sweat, rain, and brief submersion. They are built for training in wet conditions rather than for lap-pool swim tracking.
Which one should I buy?
Choose the TRACKR HEART RATE at ¥13,800 if you want the highest accuracy for structured intervals, threshold sessions, and racing. Choose the TICKR FIT at ¥11,500 if you want reliable heart rate with the comfort of an armband and no chest strap. Both connect to the same apps and devices.
