Wahoo Tickr and Tickr X heart rate monitor contact issues

If you own a Wahoo Tickr or Tickr X, you may have times where the HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) read incorrectly (too high or too low), this can be due to many factors, some of which: - in dry conditions (summer or winter, depending on where you are in the world) the strap needs to be wet before wearing, i use a dab of water which seems to do the trick. - connect the sensor to a phone/watch, and get the reading of the health of the battery, a low battery may impact readings greatly. I'm just a guy who is trying to prove to himself that everything is possible... Not to satisfy an ego, but to the contrary... I dont want anyone watching or hearing about this to be intimidated, I want you to see that, nothing comes easy... and more importantly, i'm just a random guy, if i can pull this off, then i'm sure anyone can pull off something that they thought they'd never be able to do.
