Anyone notice Watch OS3 no longer sends heart beats?

i noticed it no longer sends a real heartbeat measurement when sending a heartbeat via iMessage. It now just sends a generic always static beat. That's kinda ****! Especially that they had ads for it.

Anyone else notice this? I assume that majority of you probably don't care and never used it. But my wife and I used to all the time.

You also can't send a reading after a workout like they showed off in the demo!

 

True sometimes, but I found in the later versions of watch OS2 it would calculate it fairly quickly on if you have a super fast heart rate vs relaxed etc

I believe they solved this by immediately turning on the heart rate sensor when you open up an iMessage contacts that could receive heart rates. That way it was 3 to 4 seconds in by the time you decided to send one.

 

So you're saying when you hold your two fingers on the screen to send a heartbeat it does a real time reading ie turns on the green lights and reads a sample?

Are you sure you're not just sending a generic one?

 

Well thanks for checking. At least I know it's not a bug with our watches. Well hopefully this comes back in a future update.
