Improved screen redraw and cached resources/data when returning to the watch face or waking from Always On Display. Expanded native data fields, configurable from Connect IQ app settings, with safer handling of missing data and long values. Current heart rate uses native sensor updates while the watch face is visible and awake. Existing preferences and activation are preserved.
