Even a lot of the accounts saying this watch Insert brand are selling smoke. Apps which track your heart rate aren't fully vetted by the medical community and as such they give out a lot of false readings. An EKG machine or modified heart rate app set up by a medical team are better indicators.

The Apple Watch ECG and irregular rhythm notifications are approved by the FDA.
