I've had a couple of the mid range ones- first a Wahoo Blue HR then the Wahoo TICKR Run. The Run was towards the higher end, around $80, versus more like $50, but for the money you get dual ANT+/BTLE transmission so you can use it with any watch or phone, a motion sensor that gives you info on cadence and such while running, and a couple of LEDs that flash so you know it's working. That to me was worth the extra $30.
I haven't used any of $25 ones or anything, but I'd recommend one of the dual ANT+/BTLE ones just to be able to use it with any receiver you want.
If you are spending $50+ for the tickr, check out the scosche rhythm. It is an optical arm band strap that does BTLE or ANT+ (perheps both? ). Its got a great DCR review. A friend has one and he loves it. |
