Q: Apple Watch and the iPhone Health app

Is the watch suppose to be connected to the iPhone Health app? It does not seem to be providing the app with my heart rate for example.

Apple Watch, iOS 8.3

You do have to enable it. Then it will send the data but don't count on it being very accurate.

I see the same screen as you (about changing settings in the Apple Watch app), however, the Health app is indeed getting heart rate data. Note the watch icon next to the data points:
I suggest you confirm your settings in Apple Watch > My Watch > Privacy > Motion & Fitness.

I'm finding it very accurate indeed in a range of different circumstances from total inactivity to full-on running
