Observing change in UIDatePicker

I noticed that there is no delegate to observe changes in UIDatePicker. Is there a way to detect when a change is made in the picker without confirming anything, like the moment it spins and lands on a new number I want to be able to detect that. I thought about key value observing, but I don't think there's a property that changes on the spot

Swift 4.2 | Xcode 10.1

@objc func handleDatePicker(_ datePicker: UIDatePicker) {
    textField.text = datePicker.date.formatted
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    datePicker.addTarget(self, action: #selector(handleDatePicker), for: .valueChanged)
}

extension Date {
    static let formatter: DateFormatter = {
        let formatter = DateFormatter()
        formatter.dateFormat = "EEEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"
        return formatter
    }()
    var formatted: String {
        return Date.formatter.string(from: self)
    }
}
