It's been a long time since I dabbled in iOS coding of any kind and I've never touched anything dev related for the Apple watch. I'm just wondering if the tools available for coding Apple watch apps can do the following:

1. Run continuously after started.
2. Check heart rate on a regular basis (e.g. ever 5 minutes).
3. Vibrate the watch and require a tap on the app when prompted e.g. if heart rate is above a certain rate.
4. Send emails automatically periodically e.g. if heart rate is taken above another threshold.
5. Do all of this without a companion iPhone app (but it can be connected to wifi or an iPhone for data purposes).

I'm just trying to see if an app might be able to do all of this, i.e. I'm not sure what the limitations are right now in the devkit as I seem to remember that on launch, Apple didn't let devs do anything useful.
