ECG not activated in some countries
I bought a series 7 watch two days ago, to mainly use the ECG app, only to be told it doesn't work in my region.
Is there a way around this?can it be activated ?

only when your government approves it
ECG is
viewed as a medical device which mean it require official approval from the
government of a country before it's legal for apple to offer
these are
the countries which has provided with said approval so far
watchOS - Feature Availability - Apple
ECG
implies that citizens' medical data be stored by a foreign third-party company
without individual approval by the government of said country, and that is not
something all countries feel comfortable with.
