How to use accelerometer in Garmin Fenix 3?

Is there a way to use the accelerometer in Garmin Fenix 3? I am developing a Stroke Coach application for my Fenix 3 watch.

My issue is that I don't know how to utilize the accelerometer sensor that I know is in my watch. I have searched the documentation for developing Apps for all Garmin IQ compatible devices with no luck.

Any ideas on this one?

Accelerometer data is available as of the v1.2.1 Connect IQ SDK release. You can read the specifics about the API in the online docs, and there is also a simple AccelMag sample app included with the SDK that demonstrates the use of the accelerometer.

Currently there is no way to access the internal sensors of the watches. ANT+ Sensors are the only things exposed to apps in Toybox.
