ECG is a feature which is viewed as medical equipment and it would be illegal for apple to sell the feature in a country without the countrys government approving it, so depending on your countries stance it may never be available where you live


here is a list of the countries whos government have approve it so far

Thanks for asking about the new ECG feature.


Check here for availability in your region: ECG


ECG requires the current non-beta version of iOS and watchOS. For additional help with the ECG feature on your Apple Watch, take a look at these articles.
