Australia Apple Watch ECG

Hello!

I have recently got an Apple Watch series 5 (upgrade from 3) and was wondering why there was no ECG app. After a bit of research I found out that in Australia (where I live), the ECG isn't supported. Is there still the hardware for it or have they removed it from the watch completely.

Check here for availability in your region: ECG


ECG requires the following software: 


  • The iPhone must have iOS 12.1.1 or later installed
  • The Apple Watch must have watchOS 5.1.2 or later installed
