I bought this to use when I'm on the turbo trainer because it's easier to just slip it on your forearm or upper arm than getting all kitted up only to realise you forgot to put a chest strap on! It's very lightweight, I don't even notice it's there and it seems to be as accurate as my chest strap monitor. Very simple to switch on and off and the battery recharges quickly in the little magnetic charging dock supplied. The HRM links with my Bluetooth devices instantly (Kickr, cadence sensor,phone, Garmin 820 etc) and shows up on my training apps (Sufferfest, Trainer Road, Fulgaz etc) with no problems. The supplied strap is very simple to adjust, comfortable and won't come off. Overall very pleased with this bit of kit. My only criticism would be, as with most Wahoo kit, it's a bit expensive.
Product Details
Wahoo TICKR FIT Optical Heart Rate Monitor
Wahoo's TICKR FIT Optical Heart Rate Monitor is designed to be worn on the forearm or upper arm and will provide highly accurate readings that can be transmitted to your Bluetooth or ANT+ compatible device. With IPX7 water resistance, you can be sure the TICKR FIT will remain functional no matter the conditions.
The on/off button requires a two-second press so you don't have to worry about accidentally switching the unit on when not in use, and an LED light will indicate when the monitor is powered, connected and transmitting. The included rechargeable battery has a life of around 30 hours so you'll be able to get plenty of training sessions in before thinking about a recharge.
Optical readings require a reasonably snug fit and the bands advanced materials will keep it secure yet remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. Two bands of different lengths are included to ensure this heart rate monitor can fit the majority of athletes.
Connecting wirelessly to smartphones and GPS devices, and integrating with Apple Watch and Apple TV, as well as seamlessly working with a number of third-party apps including Strava, Runkeeper, Map My Fitness and Trainer Road, you'll be able to monitor your heart rate and calorie burn data while you train.

Reviews
Had this for a month or so and it has been nothing but brilliant. I chose the Tickr Fit as I didn’t want the hassle of a chest strap but I’d heard bad things about wrist-mounted HRMs. Wearing it on your forearm gives a nice fleshy spot for the LEDs to read, it never feels uncomfortable or in the way and you can easily put it on whatever you’re wearing. Functionally it has give me zero problems; it took me all of a few seconds to set it up with my Garmin Forerunner 220 and it (literally) hasn’t missed a beat. The magnetic charging port is nice design touch too. Highly recommended.
