Description
Only for Wear OS devices - API 30+
THIS APP ONLY PROVIDES CUSTOM COMPLICATION WHICH PULLS HEART RATE INFO FROM HEALTH SERVICES
DISCLAIMER: Latest Galaxy Watch firmware update (to Wear OS 4) changed how HR is reported by Health Services. HR is now taken continuously without an option to set measure interval. This may possibly change in the future.
[Notice: Android 13+ - Changes to background body sensor permission] This app uses PassiveMonitoringClient in order to be able to obtain Heart Rate values & update custom complication in the background. Starting with Wear OS 4, app will ask for new BODY_SENSORS_BACKGROUND. In the consequent permission request, user also needs to give 'All the time' permission. This is to ensure complication updates correctly in the background. More information about new access model here: https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/versions/4/background-body-sensors
APP PURPOSE • with this Wear OS app, it is possible to see heart rate measurement results from Health Services API in your Watch faces custom complications.
HOW TO SET UP? 1. set custom complication in your Watch face with custom complication slots - pick heart rate complication (complication will show 0 BPM / - BPM) 2. open app from app drawer - click enable switch - click allow to enable permissions to use body sensors 3. be sure your watch is on your wrist! 4. a) do first measurement in app UI - hit Measure Test. App will initiate continuous 1 minute measurement. Wait 30 seconds, return to watch face to see your heart rate or scroll down in app UI to see measure result. or b) do first measurement in your heart rate tracking app (Samsung Health) 5. from this point, complication will always fetch data as written above in "COMPLICATION UPDATE INTERVAL" part 6. a) optional - set heart tracking app to open when complication is clicked (Set app to open) b) optional - if you use complication in SHORT_TEXT spot, you can set layout manually (Choose Layout)
NOTE! : Please, re-launch app UI after watch restart to ensure complication pulls data correctly
COMPLICATION UPDATE INTERVAL • complication updates data instantly when screen is ON, or measurement is provided by Health Services. • complication has 5-minute refresh interval in case automatic measurement is taken while screen is off. Complication refreshes data as soon as screen turns ON.
HOW THIS APP WORKS? • this app is using new HEALTH SERVICES API PassiveData monitor to get HR data & push this data directly to complication service. • complication app doesn't share any user data. It simply allows its users to see data in a watch face complication. "Passive data updates are suited for apps that need to monitor Health Services data in the background. This is meant for long-lived experiences where data updates can be infrequent and spread over time" https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/health-services/passive
WHAT'S POSSIBLE WITH THIS APP? • set heart rate complication in 3rd party Watch face • test health services measurement (make first measurement) • set app to open when complication is taped (default on app UI) • choose layout of SHORT_TEXT complication • measure test - scroll down to see measure test result!
SUPPORTED COMPLICATION TYPES • SHORT TEXT • LONG_TEXT • RANGED_VALUE (start = 50 BPM, full = 150 BPM)

Love this complication. Works exactly like it's advised. One complain I have is, when I try to add the complications to the bottom most spot on my watch face. It doesn't show. It works it every other location on the watch face. The watch face is use is Mnml analogue with fossile gen 6.
★★★★★
Best $1.49 I've ever spent. Been looking for this exact app since I upgraded from my Active 2. Was super bummed that I couldn't use 3rd party watch faces and have a live heart rate. This app WORKS.
★★☆☆☆
Does not provide continuous monitoring display on watch face. Freezes on heart rate, has to be re-enabled anytime I want an accurate heart rate. I bought this app as a possible solution to a flaw in the glaxay watch 5 that does not allow realtime continuous heart rate to be displayed on watch faces. Unfortunately, this is not a fix.
★★☆☆☆
Worthless app. It actually admits to just compiling info from other apps, so why buy an app that only shows you what another app would, and that other app is free!? You decide what to do with your $$. Developer says it is free? It is on sale, which means they do charge for it. I say again save your money for a better app.
