Has anyone noticed sharing your "heartbeat" is the same generic beat every time. Just to test I sent mine during a workout with a Bpm of 185. The recipient said it felt the same as always. Disappointing

I was thinking about this. I haven't gotten my watch yet. Should be next week. Once I get it, I'm going to share a heartbeat before I even put the watch on
I sent it 30 minutes into my workout with a polar strap on my chest sending heartrate to apple watch. Sad this feature is bs
I highly doubt the heartbeat being sent is being derived from your chest strap. Third party data is just sent to HealthKit, not to the watch. The watch is using the beat it senses on its own sensors, I'd bet.
Also, as we have seen people who experienced variations in the heartbeat, it's most likely not completely BS - it might just not be as real-time as Apple makes it seem.
One piece of anecdotal evidence does not prove a point.
Sending your heart beat is pointless. Apple making this silly idea up would be really bad.
A couple days ago I sent my heartbeat during a work out (I was running the Activity app at the same time) and the bpm were indeed noticeable faster. So it's not always the same, but it could simply be a simulation based on your last bpm reading as others have suggested.
100% gimmick. Can't believe people are falling for this ****.
This would never have happened if Steve Jobs was alive.
I for one can't wait to send my other half my heart beat, maybe while they are at work or something. A subtle way of saying "hey I'm thinking of you". Perhaps this is somewhat what apple hoped to achieve with this feature?

When you press two fingers on the screen, the built-in heart rate sensor records and sends your heartbeat. Its a simple and intimate way to tell someone how you feel.
I'll try again next workout. The chest strap sends realtime heartrate to the watch the full workout. The entire time I get a live view of my heartrate in the workout app, it never has to record it every time I look like the first time I worked out without the chest strap.

When I read "sharing heatbeat" I imagine sharing an actual heartbeat sound as heard through a stethoscope and an EKG graph animation:

Something detailed, unique. Sending just a couple of "bzzzzt" vibrator jolts is not it. You could just press one of the predefined "70bpm", "100bpm", "150bpm" buttons and result will be the same. The recipient cannot verify it anyway.
