About the Health Glance app for Apple Watch
Health Glance is a standalone Watch app that provides customizable health data complications, with support for multiple different complications.
Health Glance on your Apple Watch lets you:
- Support most data types from HealthKit (i.e. data that you can also see in the Health app on your iPhone)
- Add multiple complication configurations, and set any of them as a complication, support for multiple different complications at the same time
- Use the features for all watch faces and complication slots
- See Summaries of all configured data when you open the app
- Configure the period for data. For example, 7 day average Weight, Step Count from the last 24 hours, Yesterday’s walking distance, and more
- Set custom icon, from a selection of more than 100 icons
- Set colors, separately for value and icon (only for multicolor watch faces)
The Complications update every 20 minutes and provide refreshed data.
If you want better latency, you can open the app any time to see the most up-to-date data.
Since the app is standalone, you can configure and customize the app easily just using your Apple Watch (No iPhone app required).
