Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve used this for a couple trail runs and treadmill runs. I hated my chest strap HRM. The Velcro on the band is comfy and easy to adjust. The HR is accurate and was very easy to pair with my Garmin watch. I haven’t had to charge it yet, but the charger fits easily onto the device. I’m still getting used to the armband, but haven’t had any issues with it working well with a long sleeved shirt.

I bought this sensor in August and it worked well...easy to use, good connectivity to iPhone and my GPS watch, and comfortable on the forearm. Throughout August and September, it gave fairly accurate readings and tracking of HR because I was wearing short sleeve shirts and tanks to run/exercise, with the HR monitor exposed. Here’s the problem—once the weather had gotten a bit colder, I started to wear long sleeve shirts/layers, which totally affected this device’s accuracy. I would get huge spikes in HR readings (e.g.: readings would go from about 135bpm to 162 bpm, and back down to 135bpm in a matter of about 10 seconds). My recorded runs would have these erratic spikes throughout. I called Wahoo customer support and told them the problem. I was told that this is fairly common with this (and other optical sensors) when the sensor is not exposed, or if sensor is moved around a bit by clothing over it. I wasn’t happy, but I had owned the monitor for 2 months at this point, so a return or was not an option. Wahoo customers service told me that if I want the most accurate readings, a chest strap would be the best option, and said that they would email me a coupon toward a chest strap since I am stuck with this arm strap. They said I would get it within a few minutes but it’s been a couple of weeks and I’ve gotten nothing. Comfort is a great thing, but I feel like most people who use HR activity tracking are looking for accuracy first and foremost. I am writing this review to disclose the shortcomings of this devise as well as my experience with Wahoo customer service. I hope this helps. I wish I had known these issues before it was too late to return/exchange.

Great product. Connects via bluetooth really quick. You may have issues connecting if you have other items connecting to bluetooth. Connect the Wahoo first and you're all set. Pretty accurate heartrate. I use it for cycling.

Syncs quickly with my Garmin Edge 130 Plus. Very easy to set up as well. Wish the band had a little more elasticity to it, but it stays in place on my upper forearm well enough. Also wish it didn’t have a bespoke charger.

Readings seem pretty accurate. its also pretty comfortable, I forget I have it on during and after my workouts. Battery life good as well and very easy to set up. Very happy with my purchase!

Works great with Peloton app and heart rate seems consistent and correct based on checking with heart rate taken on the Apple Watch.

Purchased to track my heart rate while riding a spin bike at home. It connects easily via the Wahoo app. And it appears to be accurate when compared to smart watch data.

I use this almost every day and it’s phenomenal. Strap is easy to tighten and have never had a problem with functionality... even on my sweatiest days. Highly recommend!

Great monitor. It syncs seamlessly with both the app and Peloton bike. No drop offs or messing with it. It just does what it's supposed to do.

This activity tracker worked perfectly with my recently bought Echelon bike. I've also used it for some runs and the information synchs well.

Love having a way to sync this to our new Hydrow rower. In the moment stats on heart rate in order to control level of activity.

Works as advertised, Connects with Peloton. Comfortable to use!

It is a good tool to monitor your heart rate during exertion, especially in road biking.

Product works like its supposed to. No problems with linking to any of my devices

Super easy to use. The app works great. Very comfortable to wear.

This works well. It pairs to the Hydrow rower and works well.

The tracker itself is easy to use and comfortable. The Wahoo app doesn’t have a lot of functionality built in that I would expect but I think most people buy this to use with other apps anyway.

This armband is quickly and easily attached to me.......so much easier than attaching a chest strap. It makes my work-outs so efficient because I can work harder and faster if my heart rate is not high enough.

I don't like chest strap HR monitors. They are not comfortable. I can through this on my arm right as I begin a workout.

Wahoo Fitness for Arm doesn't stay active. It stops nad I have to reset application constantly. I have the chesat version and that stays active. Chest version has better performance.
