If you’re into health and fitness, you probably have a good idea of how a heart rate monitor works. Traditionally, you fix a strap around your chest, which monitors your heart, and these results are then displayed onto the accompanying wrist watch. However, things just went one step further.

“BioShirt” comes complete with integrated sensors that send heart rate information to the wristwatch computer via Bluetooth. The idea behind it is to get rid of the ‘unsightly’ chest strap, but wouldn’t you normally wear something over the top of your chest when working out? Mind you, hairy back man at my gym has no qualms with getting his torso out so maybe this would be the perfect thing to convince him to cover up. Just a thought.
