“Awesome Technology (easy paring, precerve battery life), but Brittle Battery Cover.
Compare to other Heart rate monitor. The back exposes to the Excessive heat form the chest. which Battery cover do not have capacity to be Sweat proof. If you are in intense exercise like me (chest can be so hot/sweaty). This Battery cover plastic will become brittle. Will 1st semi-corrode the Metal coin battery. Then eventually will weaken the battery cover lock prongs and will break when you open it. It may be a chassis plastic product issue. If the WAHOO TICKR X GEN2 heart monitor unit just place it to the above garter chest strap by design this will not happen.
This maybe an addup COMMANE for WAHOO (as my good to honest review). to redesign again the Strap and the unit. And possible recall this TICKR X GEN2 HRM. A broken battery prong plastic cover. If the user will continue to use it. The HEAT / SWEAT will eventually will get inside the unit. And possible will cause sudden electrocution to the user. It may not be that fatal but it will lead to bad experience and a possible ACCC issue, will cause lots of MONEY to Wahoo for settlement.
I reached support, they with ref. ticket (#1403656). They are fast / good service they are about to replace the unit.
This lead me to not be able to use the unit for the next couple of days/weeks. This will mean a lot to me as I work out 2x a day (doing some cycling). This will lead me to not record by activity until I get the replacement unit.”
“Very good monitor. Offline memory is a big feature. A negative with all chest straps is we need to wet the pads for them to measure the heart rate. So they don't work if you want to measure the heart rate during sleep.”
“The heart Rate monitor that does everything i wanted and more, connected with Zwift it works great. Additional functionality, it works as a Run sensor with Zwift Running. Comfortable and easy to use, would recommend for any one looking for a hart rate monitor that does it all.”
