When the watch is on ones wrist, the actual sensor for heart

is relying on the pulse from your wrist. A real defibrillator is

a device that is used by a professional to correct errors in

the rate of heartbeat rhythm by applying electric shock to the

heart and not via the wrist. Doubtful if an Watch will do that.

In any event, my 48 y/o automatic (battery-free) Seiko 21 jewel

hasn't the ability to startle hearts, only soothe through reliability.

If you are asking about the survivability of the Watch after a

medical procedure involving the defibrillator, presume it's not

when or if the electricity from the paddle goes through the watch.

You may be able to ask a sales expert at the Apple Store about it. 🙂

From the Apple Watch User Guide > Safety, Handling and Support (with my emphasis added):

"Medical device interference

Apple Watch contains components and radios that emit electromagnetic fields. Apple Watch, some of the bands, the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable, and the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Case contain magnets.

These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices.

Maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and Apple Watch, its bands, the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable, and the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Case.

Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device. Stop using Apple Watch, its bands, the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable, and the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Case if you suspect they are interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or any other medical device."
