No battery required: Wahoo Fitness unveils rechargeable TRACKR HRM

Wahoo Fitness has unveiled a new addition to its product lineup, the TRACKR HEART RATE. With new and improved processing technology, TRACKR HEART RATE claims to deliver highly accurate heart rate monitor (HRM) metrics.

In a first from the leading smart fitness and training brands, TRACKR is equipped with a high-capacity, rechargeable battery with over 100 hours of active battery life in most conditions. This solves long-standing consumer, environmental, performance, and safety pain points associated with HRMs – by eradicating the use of coin cell batteries.

Gareth Joyce, CEO of Wahoo, said “We are thrilled to launch the TRACKR HEART RATE monitor. Our goal was to create a device that athletes can rely on for accurate data, unmatched comfort, and seamless integration with their training ecosystems.

“TRACKR HEART RATE is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding athletes, providing them with the tools to optimise their training and achieve their performance goals.”

Priced at £80 / US$90 / €90, the TRACKR chest strap HRM (heart rate monitor) is the first in the newly branded TRACKR line up of accessories from Wahoo. The company adds that a range of newly designed sensors for endurance athletes is coming later this year and into 2025.

‘The TRACKR accessory line will enable endurance athletes to build their personalised ecosystem for indoor and outdoor training to precisely measure their unique performance goals.’

Wahoo cites a number of TRACKR features, including:

  • Accuracy: Featuring an advanced detection algorithm, TRACKR HEART RATE provides accurate real-time heart rate data to enhance training efficiency and support optimal performance.
  • Comfort: The chest strap is a totally new design with comfort in mind, including a non-invasive side closure that allows athletes to move freely in any workout.
  • Ecosystem compatibility: With ANT+ and multi-Bluetooth connectivity, the TRACKR HEART RATE connects with both indoor training systems and outdoors with ELEMNT computers, GPS smartwatches, and smartphones, and with apps including Apple Watch, Zwift, Strava, adidas Running, Nike Run Club, Peloton and the Wahoo ecosystem of apps and training products.
  • Rechargeable Battery: TRACKR HEART RATE is equipped with a high-capacity, rechargeable battery with over 100 hours of active battery life in most conditions.
  • Reliability: Through rugged testing, TRACKR HEART RATE is a companion for rainy rides or sweaty runs. Rated IPX7, athletes can push their limits without worrying about the elements.
