Both run keeper and runtastic have android wear versions, and both are able to receive heartbeat info from an appropriate device, yet none seem to identify the moto 360 as a heartbeat sensor.
Has anyone had any luck in doing that?
I haven't found any yet. But then again I can't get an accurate HR anyways from this. I'll go for a run, and it says my heart rate is 54. Even when I'm doing nothing, I can't get it accurate and it's slow. I try to show off to others what it can do, and they want to call 911 when my HR shows 33!

Haha, I failed when showing it to friends too. It works quite well at times- the watch needs to be tight on your arm, and the arm can't move a lot.
At present the watch does not expose the heart rate to other apps. I'm not sure I would worry about that either. I did a short run this morning (3 miles) and the HRM in the watch apparently did not track any of it. If I look at stats, I get 0% Vigorous (>129 bpm) and my entire run was vigorous. If you want an accurate heart rate for training, the 360 is not (yet) going to provide that.
Gotta wait until Google Fit is officially released later this month.
I have done some reading on Google Fit but certainly don't know everything. However, from what I have seen, this will be strictly part of Android L and not available in 4.x. Anyone hear any different?

I found SportsTracker PRO and it reads the heartbeat OK.
As a matter of fact, it's been being my running app of choise for a couple of years.
pros: nice view on my wrist when running, with minimalistic text (black background)
cons: IT'S SHUTTING DOWN next november 1st.
I hope it helps.
Endomondo recently added Google Wear support and it picks up the heart rate from the Moto 360. (I had heard it could not be done but that seems to be wrong.) However for running it still does not work for me. On a recent run it reported a constant 79 bpm for the entire run because the Moto 360 was not able to get a reading once I started running.
2 apps so far
Confirmed: Endomondo receives data from the heart rate monitor.
So far, Sports Tracker PRO and Endomondo do the job. Issues with the refresh and the measure itself, though.
Let's wait for the next Android Wear version...
I agree that the HRM on the moto360 seems very sensitive in negative way that it is not able to measure consistently and you have to keep your hand real steady which is impossible when you are doing a workout. Sort of negate the use of a HRM if you can only use it when you are idle.

Well, that's just the nature of PPG sensors. Even the medical-grade sensors you'll find in a hospital are super sensitive to every little movement. If you think about how it works, every movement modifies the amount of light passing through the detector and gives additional interference to the pulse measurement. It's a wonder that these wrist-worn sensors work at all.
What's with Bluetooth chewing up the battery? If Bluetooth is on for Android Wear, it will basically always be the top battery user. I don't think this is related to my watch because I see the same issue on my Nexus 9 running 6.0.1.
I'd like to keep it on for my smart watch but this is starting to drive be nuts. Anybody know of a fix?

I am having a similar problem, it seems as if I have BT on but not even connected to anything it is the top battery user.

Also noticed this the past day or so. Completely prevents doze as well.
Same problem. 5X. Worked fine until 6.01 update
Hello everyone,
i am looking for an App that automaticly check my heart rate every 15 min. I have tested Heart Rate OS2 and Cinch. But the Program doesn't work. If i check the Heart rate manually the green lights on the watch are constant on and don't stop. The automatic doesn't work to. i am waiting for hours.
I am using the Huawei watch 1.4 and the Huawei P8 with Android 6.
Thank you for help and sorry for my bad english.
I experience the exact same thing. I even got HR OS2 working on a samsung gear 2 with AW running on it. Something is wrong with the HR sensor......
I had some issues with Heart Rate OS occasionally. I've been using Cinch and it's been great. Takes my heart rate hourly.

Lol where not there yet. Its like me telling my watch "where are my key?" And it magically tells me. Some things will just have to wait. Its the limitations of current technology. We have smartwatches, that really in 5 years theyll be more simple than analog. In 5 years i can see a Bold future where phones not only dominate our life, but the world around us. IoT is going to really take off next year.

Hello!
I use bluetooth light bulb.
With my Nexus 5 i see the 2 lights.
But with my Oneplus 3 i see only one light.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you.
Same kind of issue for me with bluetooth speaker.
It seems that op3 bluetooth is not strong enough.
I'm forced to leave my phone less than 2 meter. My LG reach 15 meters

Strange.
Even at 1 meter, it doesn't work.
With the other it works until 10meters.
Any solution? I'm having the same issue.
The support ask me to send them some bluetooth logs.
Anyway my OP3 is now in RMA.
My rhr dies not work on my galaxy watch active 2, it always shows - -.
A few days ago I changed the hrm from periodic to constant and I noticed this thing with the resting heart rate two days ago, not sure if it worked before this change or before the last firmware update.
I also made a Google search and found many topics with users having the same problem, with no solution.
Any ideas? Does resting heart rate work for you gwa2 owners?
Cheers
T.
