A small percentage of people may have certain physiological conditions preventing the creation of enough signal to produce a good recording — for example, the positioning of the heart in the chest can change the electrical signal levels, which could impact the ECG app’s ability to obtain a measurement.
Liquid-free contact is required for the ECG app to work properly. Use of the ECG app may be impacted if the Apple Watch and/or skin aren't entirely dry. Make sure that your wrist and hands are thoroughly dry before attempting a reading. To ensure the best reading after swimming, showering, heavy perspiration, or washing your hands, clean and dry your Apple Watch. It may take one hour or more for your Apple Watch to completely dry.

It sounds like you've tried a lot of things, it's probably time to contact Apple and/or send it in for evaluation and possible repair.

Hi. Thank you for the reply. It used to work. Then it just stopped. I tried different fingers. I deleted the app and reinstalled. I did a force reset on watch and phone. Nothing worked. Then I tried my husbands Apple Watch Series 6 and it works fine for both of us.
