Thanks for asking about the 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.

I found elsewhere on the Apple website that the newer Apple watches (4, 5, and 6) that have the ECG app are only compatible with the iPhone 6s and higher. So I gave up on buying an apple watch right now, and purchased a purchased an AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L personal EKG on Amazon. It runs about $150, and will give a six line EKG. It was a better solution for me; it’s a little less convenient, but it gives much more information and costs quite a bit less.
