The Apple Watch's EKG is definitely good enough for diagnosing bradycardia - you can see very clear QRS complexes showing up on it.

(I would not necessarily trust the 24/7 LED-based rate monitoring.)

Yeah, but brachycardia wasn't the problem and that's easy to diagnose. What I want to know is if it is good enough to know that it wasn't actually brachycardia but was instead afibrillation with weak parts of the cardiac cycle.
