Wahoo TRACKR HEART RATE

The Wahoo TRACKR Heart Rate Monitor is a notable advancement in Wahoo’s lineup, addressing previous concerns and introducing new features tailored for athletes seeking reliable heart rate monitoring.

Weighing approximately 39 grams with the strap, the TRACKR is both lightweight and compact. The strap has been redesigned with a robust rubber coating and a side-mounted metal hook closure, enhancing both durability and user comfort. This new design eliminates the front buckle, reducing potential pressure points on the chest.

A significant upgrade is the shift from disposable coin cell batteries to an integrated rechargeable battery. This change not only enhances the device’s water resistance but also promotes sustainability by reducing battery waste. The TRACKR offers up to 100 hours of active use on a single charge and boasts a standby time of 320 days. Charging is facilitated through a proprietary magnetic cable, ensuring a secure connection and maintaining the device’s IPX7 water resistance rating.

The TRACKR supports both Bluetooth and ANT+ connections, allowing simultaneous pairing with up to three devices. This versatility ensures compatibility with a wide range of fitness equipment and applications. Enhanced electrode sensors have been incorporated to improve data accuracy by effectively filtering out noise and artifacts. The heart rate data appears to be consistent and reliable across various activities, with no significant dropouts or inaccuracies.

The redesigned strap’s rubberized interior prevents slipping, even during intense workouts. However, the side-mounted hook closure can be a bit fiddly to begin with, especially when adjusting the strap single-handedly. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall comfort and stability of the device during prolonged use are impressive.
The Wahoo TRACKR Heart Rate Monitor successfully addresses previous shortcomings found in earlier models, offering a durable, accurate, and user-friendly solution for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Its combination of a rechargeable battery, improved strap design, and reliable performance makes it a strong contender in the heart rate monitor market. While the proprietary charging cable may be a slight drawback for those preferring universal charging solutions, the TRACKR’s overall benefits make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking precise heart rate monitoring.
