setting the region is far from enough, these watches have build in gpa and

ECG is a question os regional law



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.
