(along with ECG)

This is incorrect. ECG is on US watches

idk I'm in the US and it wouldn't even let me download the "health connect" or whatever app. Maybe it's an ATT thing

It's a US thing. They couldn't get approval from the FDA or something. It's on there. People were using some workaround.

Hmm. I never did any sort of workaround. My 4 Classic just came with ECG out of the box. I live in and purchased it in California.

Same, my 4 Classic has it as well (NC). The first time I used it I thought it was a heart rate monitor 🤡. It's definitely an ECG.

Had ecg on my watch 4 and 5 pro in the US.

Only BP is restricted.

No workaround. There is a disclaimer about not using it to diagnose blahblahblah, but other then that nothing our of the ordinary to use it.

There isn't a workaround, but there was before. I think it was a side load kind of thing, but by the time I got to it it was out of date.

Do you by chance know the work around? I've been trying but couldn't figure it out.

I have att and it works on my 3 series. But it came preloaded with the health trackers and apps.
