Does Core Motion in watchOS 2 allow access to the gyroscope?

I want to use the Apple Watch as motion controller.

I’m trying to access the gyroscope with CoreMotion, but I don’t get any data. Is it possible to access the gyroscope in the Apple Watch?

I think it does - have you had a look at the class CMGyroData? It specifically says that it is available in watchOS 2.0.
