I just updated my iphone to IOS 15.0 and my iwatch 6 to 8.0 and the ECG app, when I put my finger in the crown, starts a continuous beep and displays random lines in the ECG screen. It stops when I get my finger off the crown.
i performed resets of the iphone and watch but still persists.
Anyone encountering the same problem.
For the rescod and to inform others who might experience the same problem
I finally got a workaround to this ESG failure in my apple watch series 6 watch OS 8.1.
I was instructed to disable the Settings > Accesibility>Assistive Touch function, both in the watch app on my iphone and in my watch. Then Reset the watch and make sure Assistive Touch is still off.
After doing this, the ECG function works ok for me.
I would expect that this will eventually be fixed so we can have both functions on, but for now I can use ECG and not having Assistive Touch is not a problem for me at this point.

Thank you @nathan430. I had already checked these resources. also ran the watch diagnostics and all ok. I have opened a case with apple health area, which I hope will help me solve it. I have no clue so far.
I had the same problem. Apple Support was not aware of the issue.
I uninstalled the app and re-installed it. Now there is no sound at all, no beep, nothing.
The support rep said her ecg has never made a sound, so I don’t know if re-installing was a solution or not.
At least the annoying warbling sound is gone.
Not pleasant when wearing AirPods Pro.
Thanks for your answer. I’ll try it.
I did talk with apple support. They had me install some app to send them logs and now they’ re looking at it. They should contact me back soon.
I’ll update with the results.
