I’m now on to 3rd or perhaps 4th Tickr. I like them but they don’t appear to last long. The latest is approx. 6 months. I change battery but something just isn’t right. I’ve tried the reset protocol without success. I know I’m a “heavy sweater” and have thus tried cleaning the contacts but no joy…

I usually get about 12-18 months out of them - but when they break in under a year I’ve had zero issues getting Wahoo to send me a warranty replacement If you have your receipt you can get a replacement sent to you pretty easily

Too bad I didn’t keep my receipt. Guess I wasn’t expecting to need a replacement 12 weeks in. Oops. Garmin’s new strap looks inviting.

I’ve had a Tickr for three years and haven’t had any issues unless the batteries were low.

The Heart rate monitor itself I’ve found fine. The straps on the other hand are a piece of shit. The contacts corrode from sweat and snap off the strap. I’ve been through two official wahoo straps that have done the same thing. They last around a year for me then it happens. I’m currently using a 3r…

My 2 cents. Have had mine for 2 years. Still keeps on Ticking (he he) The strap is long in the tooth tho. May need a replacement in a few months

I’ve had mine for over 2 years now and infinitely better than the Garmin that preceded it. Do you wash the strap and if so how often? I use mine 5/6 times a week and pop it in the wash every couple of months or so (when I remember that it is)

Perhaps earlier models (c. 2016/17) were constructed better than later models (c. 2019). Rinse my strap after every use. But as far as I’m aware, plastic does not corrode; it does, however, split and crack.

No issues on mine thus far. The strap is beginning to fray, though.
