Hello,

Is it possible to create a custom watch face which does permanentely show the following values (beside time and date :)

- heart pulse rate
- battery level
- altitude


2.
Can this task as well be done on an iMac or only on an iPhone?


Thank you!


PS
I do not yet own an Apple watch..

Yes, although with a slight caveat.

Apple’s algorithm doesn’t allow full-time real-time pulse display unless you’re actively in a workout (uses too much battery with Apple’s sensor). It’ll update on the watchface about every 10 minutes or so with resting and high rates (depending on which complications you’ve selected).

Battery level and altitude are also available.

You can design the watchface on the watch itself or with the iPhone’s watch app. There’s no watch control app for the Mac.

That's from an app called AllMyBatteries.
Looks great. BTW how about the other complications? I am using WatchSmith for the battery one as allmybatteries does not work due to no iCloud storage and is paid for full version.
