The Wahoo Tickr Fit armband was released in 2018 and is interesting because it isn't a chest strap. Not the most hair-raising reason to stand out, perhaps, but for those who don’t get on with a chest strap heart rate sensor, the Tickr Fit is a gamechanger. In terms of the market as a whole the majority of the best heart rate monitors are worn on the chest, but they can be uncomfortable, particularly when worn with a sports bra.
I am, indeed, one of those people who has never particularly enjoyed a chest strap and thus the Tickr Fit caught my attention. The Tickr Fit can be worn anywhere on the arm but for greatest accuracy, Wahoo says it works best on the upper forearm, just below the elbow on either the inside or outside of the arm.
