ECG app and irregular rhythm notification on Apple Watch

I'd also like to know this. Is the apple watch better or just better with marketing & PR?

The 'my watch told me i had heart issues' all seem to be Apple Watch related.

This might be because Apple Watch is significantly more popular than most heart rate monitors with comparable features.

I don’t think there ARE any other consumer devices with those features out.

It seems someone else has announced one but it’s not out and hasn’t gone through a clinical trial of 400k people.

Heart rate monitor watches are a dime a dozen but watches that can do ECGs or even analyze your heart rate are pretty rare.

I assume by this you mean Fitbits are not comparable as heart rate monitors?

Anecdotally I find fitbits are much more widespread than Apple Watches
