Why can’t Apple Watch SE support ECG? It came standard on my old Apple Watch.

Just found out ECG not supported on Apple Watch SE. I thought it was an upgrade when I purchased a newer version of the Apple Watch. Disappointed.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8

Apple Watch SE is the least expensive model watch Apple sells. When you buy an entry level anything, you don't get the same features as you do on the more expensive models.


You likely should have looked at what the models offer before you made a buying decision. And if you are within 14 days of original purchase, return the watch and buy a Series 8, which does offer ECG.
