Seems to work as advertised. Only caveat is that you should be sitting perfectly still or it goes all over the place which is normal since we use electrical impulses to move our muscles and that could interfere.
Got a tip for us?

What are you thoughts on the ECG features for those that have it?

Mine is all set up with the notifications and hope I NEVER hear from it!
This will be a life saver for some who did not even know they had a problem. So many go for years or have never had a ECK or EKG. Will should be reading some great stories here.

I have an issue that shows up in normal ECGs... shows up from my Apple Watch too. Bravo Apple.
I've taken a few. You really have to sit and be still. No standing or moving or you will get inconclusive due to poor reading. I guess this is normal for EKG readings. Not something to use while on the treadmill lol.
Yes. Even in a doc office...if you move at all it messes up the reading.

I didn’t have that issue. Maybe unpair and repair?
Only one for me too, all’s quiet on the Western front. It is very cool, especially the notifications thing.
Great, getting ready for more healthcare dollars wasted on perfect healthy people.Well I saw that I have a sinus rhythm but my t-waves are inverted. Will inquire with my pcp, but I don’t think there’s any cause for alarm...yet.
Overall a great medical/tech savvy feature to have at your dispense. Conducting a session was seamless and setup was a breeze.
I'm having a problem getting it set up. AW4. Just updated the watch to 5.1.2 and the phone is 12.1.1. I go into the Watch app then scroll down to Heart. The only things I see are high heart rate, low heart rate and notification grouping. I don't see anything about setting up the ECG app.
Are you running beta software? If so you have to delete the profile and re-download 12.1.1 for it to work.
Are you going to the ‘EKG’ app on your watch? That should trigger the set up under the Health app on the phone. The ‘EKG’ app is a specific app separate from the normal ‘Heart’ app.
According to google
relating to or denoting the sinoatrial node of the heart or its function as a pacemaker.
"sinus rhythm"
I think one thing most folks will want to set up, but isn’t initially user-facing to set up, is AFib alerts. That way it looks for such a thing periodically in the background and alerts you if it ever detects signs of AFib. Otherwise you’ll never get an alert if it doesn’t detect any signs. Let the watch serve it’s purpose and monitor your heart health for you.
I had to set this up manually myself under ‘Heart’ in the iPhone’s Watch app.

Make sure you have the Watch orientation (General->Watch Orientation) right depending on what hand you're wearing it on.
