The ECG app has arrived on Venu3, Fenix7pro, Tactics and Epix.
Will it ever come to Forerunner 965 ?
Thanks

I don't think so, the Forerunner 965 have not the nessesery sensor.
Some explanation of that from DC Rainmaker here - Garmin Expands ECG Feature to More Watches: How to Use It | DC Rainmaker
The functionality remains the same as the Venu 2 Plus, but given that Garmin changed…
No , FR 965 doesn't have the latest hardware (HR sensor) as these devices do.

Sorry for my unclear question above. I mean, the sensor on venu2plus is gen4 but it can be supported. Why? The bezel of Fr965 is metal as well, so maybe it is possible some day?

The functionality remains the same as the Venu 2 Plus, but given that Garmin changed the optical HR sensor package, they had to redo/re-fill portions of their FDA certification related to the ECG feature. Remember that Garmin, like Apple/Samsung/Fitbit/Google/etc, have all gone through the formal FDA certification process, which classifies the ECG app as a medical device. This includes doing a full study of 600+ participants and everything else that comes with proper medical device certification (I’ve outlined how that worked previously, here).
