We said it would happen. And now it has – Nike+ has got a heart-rate monitor. The sports brand has teamed up with Polar to introduce Wearlink+ that works with existing Nike+ products.

That means current users of Nike+ iPod and Nike+ SportBand can upgrade to the heart-rate monitor without having to splash out on additional new kit. It’ll also work with Polar’s own catalogue of fitness gear.

Heart-rate monitoring has been touted as a Nike+ rumour since Adidas’s miCoach Pacer, which includes an HRM.
