- Wahoo Fitness announced the Trackr Heart Rate, a redesigned heart rate monitoring chest strap for dedicated athletes.
- The Trackr Heart Rate is the brand’s first heart rate monitor (HRM) to feature a rechargeable battery.
- The Wahoo Trackr Heart Rate is available for $89.99.
Today, Wahoo Fitness added a new tool to the arsenals of athletes interested in heart rate monitoring. The all-new Trackr Heart Rate is the brand’s first HR monitor to swap out its coin cell battery for a high-capacity, rechargeable one. Now users can simply plug in their sensor to keep using it again and again. Between charges, the battery will provide more than 100 hours of active use. In other words, it’ll power heaps of workouts before you even need to pull out the charging cable.
Though certainly the most exciting update, the new rechargeable battery isn’t the monitor’s only upgrade. Wahoo also promises users improved accuracy with an advanced detection algorithm, as well as an overhauled strap design for added comfort. The band now features a side closure in order to avoid impeding any workout types.
