[Q] Possible to access heartbeat monitor with other apps?

Is it possible to access the Moto 360 heartbeat monitor with other Android apps? I'm interested in using the M360 with Runtastic to also track my heart rate, instead of buying Runtastic's own hardware. Or any other app that allows me to track my jogging and include in the heart sensor.
From what I'm read about the M360, it looks like the heart sensor is only used by the watch and nothing else really makes use of it.
I've love to have a continuous measurement of my heart rate while jogging and have it tracked with an app along with the phone GPS data. I wouldn't even mind if it drained battery faster as long as it lasted for 4hrs or so.

I think once all these apps start taking full advantage if Android Wear and Google Fit they will be able to pull the HRM data. At least, that is what I'm hoping.

I hope so too!. I guess we'll have to wait a month for Android L and everything else to come out and settle down. I'd love to use the M360 doing exercises and not have to use one of those chest bands.

APIs....
I guess IFTTT guys may provide you with a recipe that triggers the heart monitor to the google drive channel so that you can post your heartbit to a spreadsheet or something...we will see...

This app does it for the gear live: Heart Rate Trainer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=portablepixels.heartratetrainer
I assume one can be developed for the moto 360.

I've been using this watchface for a few days on my Moto 360, it seems to work fine: the watchface displays real time heart rate info, along with actual time and HR measurement accuracy).

The UI has nothing fancy, but it gets the job done, and that means that we can expect other developpers to be able to write similar watchfaces, including (I hope) the editors of our favorite fitness applications!

Moto 360

Just got the Moto 360, so far, very nice. but I'll know more once i give it a full day's test. anyone else have it yet? your impressions?

I got mine, love it so far. I got one the day after launch and put a black pebble steel band on it. Battery life is shorter than other watches but hasn't been an issue.

i'm getting an easy 22+ hrs. seems to do more with how "active" your wrist is than anything else. lately at work, i've been taking off my watch to prevent my wrist from turning over when i type on the keyboard (frequent screen wakes). i usually get my m360 back on the charger with +50% from 7a-10/11p each day.

Battery impact is negligible on the moto x. I still get ~3hrs OST per day on the phone.
With the watch, I'm consistently at the 50% mark after 14 hours on my wrist.
I highly recommend it - certainly a nice extra motivational factor to get more active again.

I've been a fan of wearable tech since before it was practical. Still own a Sony Liveview (which will no longer stay in the band). I really want to like the 360 since it's round, and I have a Moto X that I love. But it looks large. Hope they come out with a smaller lady's version.

FWIW i took it on a 14hr trip and used it with GPS. had the watch off since 8a that morning, charged it up around the afternoon and then enabled GPS guidance. I don't think I got 11hrs before the watch completely died.
on the way back i didn't use GPS and somehow managed to get more than 36hrs. I took it off about 8a on Saturday and it didn't make it back to the cradle until 9:30p Sunday and it still had 23%!

Have Screen Burn In? Warranty It, Get a New One

Searched, didn't see a similar topic.
If you had Android Wear 1.0 through about 1.2 on your phone, your Moto 360 had a much brighter charging watch face. That much brighter charging screen was actually causing burn-in on your OLED.
You can see if yours is affected by opening the Settings app. If you can see a ring of the charging halo in the background, your phone was damaged by this.
Fortunately, Motorola is honoring this as a warranty issue - you just have to claim it before your one year warranty is up. I now have a brand new first-gen Moto 360 - with an improved watch band clasp too.

Hi, where did you submit request for service?

I got mine warranty replaced (for this issue) by calling Motorola technical support. Despite being clearly outsourced, they seemed to be well aware of this issue - and processed it without too much futile troubleshooting.

moto 360 has an LCD Display , not an OLED!

I have burn-in too. It's most noticeable on white backgrounds as a yellowish ring. I only noticed it recently but I think my warranty might be up. Didn't think an LCD could have burn in, but there it is...

Could someone post a picture of the burn-in? I want to see how bad it actually is.

I took these with my watch at max brightness. Normally, it's more subtle. It's a yellow ring that's strongest at the 3 o'clock position, and decreases clockwise -- exactly where the charging ring would start.

In person, the white backgrounds actually look the worst. I have a nice white watch face that I simply won't use because of this.
I mostly use dark watch faces though so I don't notice it. It's invisible on black and most of the Moto stock faces (e.g. Dials).

how can LCD get burn-in? that's so weird

That is one sweet device! Nice to have it in sight so soon!
I'm gonna assume the pricing will be more than competitive! Can't wait for it!
Based on the quality of the other iWown devices I own and tinkered with, I'm gonna say build quality will also be on par with the i7, at least! :good::good::good:
