How to Use a Polar WearLink With a Nike+ SportBand

The Nike+ SportBand is a wristband with a small display and a shoe sensor. Place the sensor in your shoe and it sends information about your workout to the wristband, including pace, distance, time and calories burned. The WearLink is a chest transmitter from Polar. It wirelessly sends your heart rate information to a Polar wrist monitor. You can use the Polar WearLink chest strap to send heart rate data to your Nike+ SportBand. You need to link the transmitter with the wristband before using them together for the first time.
