In this article I will share my thoughts on the Garmin HRM Pro Plus Heart Rate Monitor and compare with the Wahoo Tickr-X and the default 4iiii Viiiiva Heart Rate Monitor I use with both Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 and Garmin Edge 840 cycling computer (and Garmin Fenix 7 smartwatch).
Heart Rate Monitor
Wahoo Tickr X review – Heart Rate Monitor with Motion Analytics
The Wahoo Tickr X is a heart rate sensor that was used by team Sky in the 2016 Tour de France stages (in the Pyrenees, the jerseys are wide open).
The Tickr X is Wahoo’s flagship heart rate monitor featuring dual band ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless capabilities. The build-in memory can record up to 16 hours of training. The Wahoo Tickr X can be connected to almost every iPhone or Android smartphone, but also a wide range of tablets and ANT+ enabled devices like for example cycling computers.
Personally I used the Wahoo Tickr X in combination with my Pioneer Pedaling Monitor System (SGX-CA 500 computer, Wahoo Elemnt Bolt Stealth Edition and SGY-910HL power meter).
4iiii Viiiiva Heart Rate Monitor and ANT+ to BT Bridge
I’ve purchased a 4iiii Viiiiva Heart Rate Monitor to replace my Wahoo Tickr-X HRM strap. The Viiiiva is produced by Canadian Company 4iiii, well known for its Precision and Podium powermeters.
I will briefly review the Viiiiva in this article that can also work as an ANT+ to BT Bridge.
