    Love the monitor but my MAJOR grievance is that nowhere in the documentation does it mention that you MUST BE WEARING IT TO PAIR IT with your phone. So, be advised.

    I use the strap to track my heart rate using Cyclemeter on my 4S while on my rides. It's been rock solid so far, and provides excellent information for me to track my heart health. I have no complaints!

    Does what it says it does!!

    Just purchased the Wahoo HR Monitor for iPhone 4s, and have only been using it for a couple days. So far, it seems to do exactly what it says. It was easy to use right out of the box. Easy and quick to pair, and was up and running in just a couple of minutes. I have turned everything off and on a couple of times, and it seems to Pair and Wake Up easily and quickly each time.

    I would have given 5 stars except for two reasons:

    - I am not sure how entirely accurate this HR Monitor is, but unfortunately, I do not have anything to compare it to. Before I started my workout, it was reading my HR between High 80s and Mid 90s, which is certainly higher then normal for even me. Now, my HR tends to be a bit higher, and I use a Rescue Inhaler before exercising which can tend to race the Heart a bit, so this can be the reason. I do have to say that I manually counted my Heart Beats from the wrist against a stopwatch twice, and I came up with a HR that was pretty right on to the Wahoo HR Monitor, so it very well may be accurate.

    - I also feel as though this HR Monitor is over priced. There are some very nice HR Monitors out there that give you the Device and Strap for about $60, so $80 just for a strap?? Nevertheless, I knew this when I purchased it. I guess the convenience of using my phone mixed with getting an Apple backed product makes it all worth it. We pay for overpriced Apple products, well because…their Apple.

    I got one of these last year to monitor my heart rate during running. It was very easy to pair and operate. I almost always use it with RunKeeper app, but also with the wahoo app. I haven't had any problems, it's been almost a year now. You do have to put some water or gel on the pads in contact with your skin for them to work properly, but I expected that. Once you start sweating you don't have to worry about this.

    Have had zero issues, but only had it for 3 weeks. It was a piece of cake to set up, and switches from one type of workout to another very easily. Very motivating, but wish they had a graphical representation of progress.

    Bought it -loved it then it went dead - changed battery still no go - a diagnostic would be nice - they were going to replace it then i got a brainstorm - try my wifes phone - it worked fine - so i reinstalled the app and it was fine -- upgraded to new ios - dead - reinstalled app works fine. love the zones and the large display while treadmilling - would love to merge with nike app somehow - also a shoe clip sensor for treadmill would be nice too
