Hey folks - moved from ant+ on a macbook to bluetooth on an iPad for connecting sensors. Had a garmin HRM without BLT, so bought a Wahoo Tickr to connect to the iPad. The Tickr strap broke after 4 months (crazy considering my garmin one is going strong after 2 years) The design of the Tickr (with th…

I’m also in the market for a new HRM. I’m done with Wahoo, I need quality & reliability. Suggestions?

I’ve been happy with the latest Garmin BT+ANT strap.

I’ve used a Garmin HRM since I started cycling (2009). Until last year I have only had 2 Garmin HRM’s, not because they broke but because of an upgrade (Garmin 800 to Garmin 1000).

I bought a replacement strap thinking the dodgy readings were due to the strap. Nope it was the unit that’s crap! Back to the old trusty Garmin strap.

Highly recommend the Garmin HRM-Dual.

I switched from Garmin after 2 failures to the Tickr. Zero issues with the Tickr. Weird.
