ECG with Fenix 7

Because Garmin prefer to push it to Fenix 8 Series (6 months old watch) instead of Fenix 7 and Epix Pro (18 months old).

that is insane and understable !

Garmin supports the creation of electro-waste. Because, of course, there will be many who buy the F8 just for this feature, they still have a working F7.

I activated the ECG by doing a "quick 5 min flight to the US" because I wanted to try, it works but it is useless for 99% of the people, you are not missing much tbh

I see! Actually a simple (not so much simple indeed) smartwatch cannot substitute a medical grade device, but I really don't understand the reason of a so different behaviour with similar markets. Once approved in EU market as medical device, and since it is enabled in USA and other Counties, I think that it should be  interest of a serius Company to protect the customer's spending for a flagship watch.
Maybe they want to became more... chineese

Garmin's application to FDA (US), TGA (Australia) and EU for approval of the ECG was based on the Fenix Pro Elevate 5 sensor and Garmin's software. Not enabling it for the Fenix Pro and Epix Pro lines in the EU and Australian markets is clearly to protect sales of the Fenix 8 line. This is extremely disappointing and ugly behaviour by Garmin's senior management.

It seems they consider European customers second class. I guess, soner o later, that EU customers will consider Garmin as a second class devices. Or maybe Garmin prefer dollars to euros?
