My watch never talk as me anything but poor recording when doing an ecg/ekg

Every time I use the ECG app on my Apple Watch it tells me poor recording it never tells me a diagnosis, or it restarts constantly. I’m standing still or sitting down so I’m not moving.


this is pathetic as much as I pad for it and it doesn’t work and I have heart problems so I need it to work. It’s a real let down.
