I couldn't agree more on how restricted popular smartwatches are. I'm working on a project to capture the maximum physiological and health data—such as heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), stress levels, and SpO2—from a smartwatch in the shortest possible interval. So far, the best I've achieved is once per minute. Could pebble support obtaining this data (particularly HRV) at even shorter intervals?

Pebble let developers request HR data at a max frequency of 1Hz, so I'm not sure how you could calculate HRV from it (Nyquist theorem).

I also tinker with health data from wearables. I've built some Whoop-like UIs for a couple cheapo wrist straps from Aliexpress, but their HR monitors are always so bad that they're useless outside of when you're sleeping.
