heart rate monitoring in Connect IQ apps

I think I may have asked this before, is it possible to display heart rate in a Connect IQ watch app?

It works in the simulator, but not on the watch, is there something special I need to do to get it to work on the watch?

For a watch face on a device with WHR, what's typically done is start with Activity.getActivityInfo().currentHeartrate

if that's null, grab the newest sample fromgetHeartrateHistory, but it too cold be null or 255 (invalid)

for a widget or device app, you want to use

Sensor.setEnabledSensors( [Sensor.SENSOR_HEARTRATE] ); and then look at Sensor.getInfo().heartrate.

This will also connect to an external HRM is one is paired.
