ECG abroad

If you purchased your Apple Watch in a country that has given government approval for ECG, and you have it all setup in that country, then when you travel to another country that has given government approval for ECG, your Apple Watch should work.

If you travel to a country that has not approved ECG, it should stop working until you travel to a country that has given approval.

The rules are:

• Country where purchased must give government approval (manufacturing knows where the Apple Watch will be shipped for sale and initializes the software accordingly)
• Country where used must give government approval (Apple Watch has a GPS and know where it is when you try to take an ECG).

For the ECG app to work on your watch the ECG app has to be approved by;

1. the government of the country in which the watch was bought and

2.the government of the country in which you reside.
