Status:Dup of 19019132 Resolved:
Product:Apple Watch Product Version:Xcode 6.2 beta (6C86e), iOS 8.2 beta (12D436)
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:
 
Description:
We would like access to real-time heart rate data from the Apple Watch hardware. This data would be used to update a display (glance?) in our watch app showing the user's current heart rate during an exercise. Historical heart rate data could be displayed in a graph and associated with an HKWorkout in HealthKit.

Ideally, we would like to provide notifications when the user's heart rate falls above or below their target range, which will vary based on several factors, including doctor recommendations.

Steps to Reproduce:
n/a

Expected Results:
WatchKit API contains classes and methods to access a stream of heart rate reading from the Apple Watch.

Actual Results:
WatchKit API doesn't include classes and methods to access a stream of heart rate reading from the Apple Watch.

Configuration:
iOS Simulator Version 8.2 (553.3)

Version & Build:
Xcode 6.2 beta (6C86e), iOS 8.2 beta (12D436)

Additional Notes:

Also would like access to real time heart rate data from the Apple Watch hardware.

We would also like access to this hardware. We would be using this info to update our apps of changes in heart rates.
