The Wahoo TICKR Run is a heart rate monitor strap that will work with most [[Best Running Watch| Running Watches]]. It supports both of the major standards, Bluetooth and Ant+, as well as supporting some interesting extra running metrics. The most interesting is their measure of smoothness, which has the potential to give useful feedback on running form. I think the TICKR is a good buy, though if you have a Garmin watch that supports it, their [[Running Dynamics]] heart rate strap might be a better option. The Wahoo TICKR Run is <jfs id="B00KLAGSW8" noreferb="true" nonl="t"/>.
* The Ant+ support allows the TICKR to work with Garmin running watches, as well as some others like the older [[Suunto Amibt2Ambit2]]. In Ant+ mode it will only provide Heart Rate data, not any of the other additional functions (including Cadence).
* The Bluetooth transmission will work with a Smartphone as well as many other companies running watches. However, Bluetooth will only work with one device at a time, so you can't use it with a Smartphone and a running watch concurrently. If you're using a watch, the Bluetooth will only provide heart rate data.
* If you use the Wahoo app, you can get a number of additional running metrics. The TICRK will work with many other smartphone apps, but those other apps will only get the heart rate data.
