Race titanium with Wahoo TRACKR HR
-
I have the Tickr and have no issues at all. Works just fine.
-
@OutdoorMan How often do you have to charge? Do you use ZoneSense in combination with the chest strap?
-
@larrybbaker I ask for the new model
-
@laufbursche7 I cannot remember when I have changed the battery last time, it lasts like forever. And yes, I am using ZoneSense with it. If I don’t want to use ZoneSense, then I just put the Coros HRM on. I once compared these two and results were almost identical.
-
@OutdoorMan Thanks for your feedback. And can you tell the difference between the COROS Heart Rate Monitor Armstrap and wahoo trackr?
-
@elbee I agree with you on almost every point—especially the importance of being comfortable to wear.
There are subtle differences even among HR chest straps; Wahoo is among the best when it comes to this.
-
Please look at the horizontal scale. It’s not from 0 to 100. It’s from perfect usable to perfect usable.
So, in reality there is zero difference. Only for some youtube influencer to make movies about (without questioning the relevance)
-
@elbee
The correlation is weak, but it is there.
It is not just some YouTube influencer, but a postdoctoral researcher at the Research Center for Molecular Medicine (CeMM)
He is a data-scientist who analyses immunological data for work, and data about hisself and different wearables as a hobby. -

I’m just saying, there isn’t better than good enough but if someone thinks it makes a difference and wants the top item in the graph, by all means, buy the wahoo.

EDIT : what I wrote here is all wrong, TheQuantifiedScientist did it correctly
And, while I love TheQuantifiedScientist, his reference is the Polar H10, which is indeed an excellent chest strap, but i’m not sure why its consedered a reference compared to other chest straps either, so the correlation is to H10, not to “absolute truth” -
@Elipsus said in Race titanium with Wahoo TRACKR HR:
Polar H10,
Because he compared it to a clinical ECG device and accuracy was 99.6%
-
@OutdoorMan my bad, I didn’t watch the specific video and incorrectly thought he kept the same reference, I will update my post
-
@Elipsus no worries, I just shared the “why” : )
