How likely are we to get the ECG function activated?

Seeing as Garmin just had their ECG app approved by the FDA, how likely is it that it will be activated on the Venu 2 plus? Seeing as the developer software seemed to have a version of it initially surely it will be pretty easy.

Or will that most likely be reserved for the venu 3?

Experience with Fitbit devices is that in addition to the function being available for a specific device Garmin's version will have to be approved by your local health authorities.

Has anyone gotten it to work outside the US? I've tried using a VPN but sadly did not allow me to add the ECG function.

I'm in the US and yet it's still telling me my region isn't supported...

I thought it was updated, but it turns out it wasn't. It works now.

Thanks for testing.

When can we expect a (FDA) release for the EU?

From the press release, the only Garmin device with ECG is the Venu 2 Plus. no other. Then, it's a question of time before it is released outside of the US. I am in Canada and no can do at the moment.
