Thank you very much for your help. My Apple Watch Series 5 was purchased in Chile, a country that has ECG service. But my problem was that I had wrongly understood that the Electrocardiogram app was the ECG app. When I realized that the true app was in already on my Apple Watch, I could proceed without a hitch.

You’ll need to provide more information to get any suggestions. Did you start the ECG app and then place your finger against the crown? If so, what happened then?

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.
