Reviews for Wahoo Fitness Blue HR Heart Rate Strap

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.

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.
