Samsung Health Monitor ECG is a cutting-edge feature that enables convenient and accurate heart monitoring using the Samsung Galaxy Watch. It allows users to perform electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements from their wrists, providing valuable insights for proactive heart health management.

The first setting process requires a smartphone. However, subsequent measurements can only be made with a watch. Measured ECG records are temporarily saved to the Watch and can be saved later by synchronizing with the smartphone app.

No calibration is required for ECG measurements. However, during the setup process, you are required to select the position of the watch's wrist.
