United StatesOnly 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.

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"

Amazing app
DZIAŁA
Love this complication. Works exactly like it's adavtised. 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.
I really love this app and is really essential for any watch face but I have an issue. Can you please help me? The app doesn't always sync and updates the latest heart rate. It just kills it. I don't know how do I fix that. It does not update regularly unless and until I open the app again. Can you tell me or temporary fix or something?
I love the complication and the idea, but after I put my Galaxy watch 6 into bedtime mode to sleep, when I wake up, the heart rate doesn't update. I am currently using the tactthree watch face, but I don't think it is linked to the watchface Edit: opening the complications app on my watch seems to work round the issue but I really wish there was a solution to this issue
So I'm using this app with my GW6C, but there is a problem with it as every time I put the watch to charge and then wear it again, the complication would stop doing the live readings. Hope that this is a problem with the app as everything else works fine. Edit: With the developer suggestions, it is still not working correctly 100% of the time.
It works great, but there is no option to make the heart red.
App is currently discontinued and will no longer receive feature updates. Native (Platform) HR Complication is moving to the Health Plugin app.
