The Apple Watch 8
ECG completely stopped working with the new update. My watch reads heart rate just fine but the ECG app continues to start and then stop.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 10
Which watchOS update did you install?
The latest official watchOS is 10.6.1
Did you already try to force restart your watch after updating to watchOS 10.6.1?
To force restart, hold down the Digital Crown and the Side button at the same time for at least 10sec, until the Apple Logo comes back again on the screen.

Did you try to reinstall watchOS and pair the watch again, setting it up as a new Apple Watch, without using the latest backup?
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Is the Digital Crown clean and free of oil or moisture? Does it rotate freely? Is your hand (finger) clean, dry and free of any skin lotion or moisturizer? Is the Watch charged above 50%?
Yes, my Apple Watch gets automatic updates. There are no new updates as it it shows on my watch app (on my iPhone). Ive restarted a few times since that’s always the easiest to fix. Unfortunately it didn’t work.
My heart rate app works fine. I use both Apple Watch and my strava app on the watch as well and no issues showing heart rate.
