In the past two years, a few Bluetooth straps have sprung up for use with smartphones, tablets or newer laptops. What makes the three-model Tickr line special is the combination of ANT+ and Bluetooth.<\/p>\n<p>The top-end Tickr X seems to be aimed at triathletes, as features include things like treadmill mode and the ability to record internally (without a paired device) so you can swim with it on and download the data later\u2026<\/p>\n<p>For me, I appreciate the simpler features: LED lights show when the thing is measuring your heart (red light) and when it is connected to a device (blue light)\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I use a Garmin for most of my rides, but occasionally I\u2019ll use my iPhone to record a ride on Strava. Either way, ANT+ and Bluetooth mean HR data is a given.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Wahoo TICKR is available from your local <a href=\"\/\/www.livetoplaysports.com\/en\/find-a-dealer\/\">LTP Sports dealer<\/a> in TICKR (MSRP $77 CAD) and TICKR X (MSRP $124 CAD) models.
