Description
Heartbeatz connect app must be used with the heartbeatz device purchased at https://store.npe-inc.com. Heartbeatz broadcasts heart rate data measured by the Apple Watch® to any BLE/ANT+/Polar receiver such as Peloton® bikes, Garmin head units and treadmills.
Heartbeatz setup is simple; mount WYÛR to your bike or treadmill, start the heartbeatz connect app and pair to WYÛR. Bikes and treadmills using proximity awareness will automatically associate with heartbeatz. Once associated, exercisers can start their workout and the bike or treadmill will display the heart rate data measured by the Apple Watch® in real-time.
Your Apple Watch becomes a BLE/ANT+/Polar Heart Rate Monitor when you use a WYÛR connected to your watch allowing you to used your Apple Watch heart rate with virtually anything that will connect to a heart rate monitor.
By using Apple Health to record your workouts you can close your rings and have your heart rate data show up on your Peloton, Garmin, Heart Zones or in front of you on any treadmill or rowing machine supporting BLE/ANT+/Polar heart rate monitors.

Ratings and Reviews
Asks for Apple Health permissions every time. Not usable any more.
Since a couple of weeks (maybe Watch OS11?), on starting the watch app it asks for Apple Health permissions, twice! Then when the app is stopped and started next time it always asks again (twice).
In Apple health on the iPhone no matter how many times you give permission to read and write heart rate data it toggles the permissions off again when using the watch app.
So buggy it doesn’t work
The duration shown on the Apple Watch does not reset from workout to workout - it just keeps running. So, a two hour walk this morning was recorded by the app as over 7 hours long! This also resulted in incorrect distance walked since the app calculates distance by multiplying duration and speed. So a 6km walk was recorded as over 20km!!
Secondly, the app writes data to Apple Health 10 times every second with most entries recorded at 0m distance travelled. Very wasteful consuming unnecessary space in the Apple Health database.
I have reported this to the developers and hope that a fix is released soon.
Not working as it did before
With the update to version 2 it now takes longer to pair it. Before it allowed me to choose the type of workout. All you get now is Cardio or HITT. No choice of activity, indoor run, etc!! It just worked before.
