Depends on the Pacemaker.
Some may allow it, some may not.
You will need to ask your doctor / cardiologist about it and review the pacemaker guidelines you were given when it was implanted.
Thankyou everyone for your replies, I have managed to contact pacemaker manufacturer who has assured me it’s safe.

So glad it worked out for you!
When you got your pacemaker, you should have received a card to keep in your wallet. There should be a support phone number on that card. Call them to see what they think. I don't have a pacemaker, but I have a spinal cord stimulator with the paddles in my upper neck. I was told it was safe for me to wear an Apple Watch. Your company may approve it but with guidelines such as, do not put your watch or iPhone in a shirt pocket or around your neck. But you should seek their advice.

You're welcome. Glad the manufacturer was able to advise positively.

no matter what then if it was me then I would double check what my doctor says, seeking medical advice from strangers on the internet may not always be wise.
