App ecg outside usa

I am very sure that Garmin will soon put a stop to this and also "unauthorized" ECG use via sw update etc. will undo.

It would be better if they put their energy into further rolling out the feature

I'm very sure that's what Garmin is doing. I feel pretty confident that Garmin won't be spending anytime on preventing its use outside of countries that have already granted approval.

Just move to a country, where the necessary certification was already obtained. (Note: not necessarily physically, just change your location virtually)

In some countries it simply takes the authorities much longer than in others, and it is out of the control of Garmin. Garmin clearly states on their website where the certification is available, so if you bought your device believing you can use the ECG, without checking whether it is really possible, you can blame nobody, but yourself. So, that's the answer to your question

Time would have been long enough to get ECG approved in Germany. After all, Apple managed it in a shorter time. No one here knows anything except Garmin, not even some wannabe insider fanboys. My fear is that there are no ambitions to expand the offering at all, and the silence only serves to keep customers hoping and not migrating.

Yes, you nailed it. It is a conspiracy. Garmin wants to keep the ECG for US Americans only, because they wish that the rest of the world dies of heart attack. In no way German and EU bureaucracy could be blamed, because everyone knows they are the most rapid and the most efficient bureaucracies in the world. 

I Fully agree with you. Apple and Polar… and no official information from Garmin.
