watchkit or healthkit for getting health attributes

As I saw, apple watch has different sensors: for heart pulse rate, for temperature etc. So Ive tried to look for some way to get this data from sensors to iPhone. But there is only UI mess about WatchKit, and something in HealthKit that i do not understand. So the question : can we access these sensors for receiving health data, or movement speed, or something like this?

Update : it's now possible with WatchOS 2 : https://developer.apple.com/watchos/

When you request parent app to fetch HealthKit data, if iPhone is locking and set a password, them you will get an error: "Protected health data is inaccessible". So, I think a health data related watch app is impossible to success submit to App Store.

No, WatchKit does not currently allow access to the hardware sensors on the Apple Watch.
