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. 

 

even if you live where the feature is approved then if the watch was originally sold where it’s not approved it will not work until it’s approved where it was purchased
