Does Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Have ECG?

Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

Yes, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic includes ECG (electrocardiogram) functionality with FDA clearance for detecting irregular heart rhythms including atrial fibrillation. The feature uses Samsung's BioActive Sensor to record single-lead ECG measurements comparable to hospital-grade equipment.

ECG Hardware and Software

BioActive Sensor: The watch back houses Samsung's advanced sensor technology capable of detecting electrical heart signals with medical-grade accuracy.
Samsung Health Monitor App: Required for ECG functionality. Download from Galaxy Store (not Play Store) in supported countries.
FDA Clearance: Approved in the United States for detecting atrial fibrillation. Also available in South Korea, European Union countries, United Kingdom, and select additional regions.

How ECG Measurement Works

Touch-Based Circuit: Place your finger on the watch's home button while the sensors on the back contact your wrist. This creates an electrical circuit through your body that detects your heart's electrical activity.
30-Second Recording: Each measurement takes 30 seconds of sitting still. The watch analyzes electrical signal timing and rhythm patterns to classify your heart rhythm.
Single-Lead Configuration: Uses Lead I configuration, providing medical-grade accuracy comparable to a single-lead hospital ECG (though not a replacement for 12-lead diagnostic ECG).

Setting Up ECG

Step 1: Install Samsung Health Monitor

Download from Galaxy Store on your phone (not Google Play Store)
App is free but only available in supported countries
Requires Samsung Account sign-in

Step 2: Complete Initial Setup

Open Samsung Health Monitor and accept terms
Tap ECG and follow the on-screen tutorial
Enter required information (must be 22 years or older)

Step 3: Sync to Watch

ECG feature automatically appears on your watch
May need to restart watch if not visible
Add ECG complication to watch face for quick access

Taking an ECG Reading

Step 1: Prepare

Sit down in a comfortable position with your arm resting on a table or lap
Ensure watch band is snug but comfortable

Step 2: Start Measurement

Open Samsung Health Monitor on your watch or tap the ECG complication
Touch the Home button with your opposite hand's index or middle finger
Maintain light, steady contact for 30 seconds

Step 3: Review Results

Watch vibrates when complete and displays results immediately
Results include heart rate (BPM), rhythm classification, and ECG waveform
Data saves automatically and syncs to your phone

Understanding ECG Results

Sinus Rhythm (Normal): Heart beating in regular pattern with normal electrical activity. Green checkmark displayed.
AFib Detected: Irregular heart rhythm detected. Yellow warning symbol appears. Consult your doctor for further evaluation.
Inconclusive: Unable to determine rhythm, often due to poor contact or movement. Retake the measurement.

When to Use ECG

Take ECG readings when you feel palpitations, experience dizziness, or notice chest discomfort. Weekly baseline measurements help track patterns. For chest pain or severe symptoms, call emergency services immediately rather than taking an ECG.

ECG Limitations

The ECG feature detects atrial fibrillation and irregular heart rhythms but cannot detect heart attacks, blood clots, stroke, structural heart problems, or coronary artery disease. It's a screening tool that complements professional care, not a replacement for comprehensive cardiac diagnostics.

Export ECG readings as PDF reports through Samsung Health Monitor select a reading tap Share or Export. The PDF includes the ECG waveform, heart rate, rhythm classification, and timestamp. Bring these reports to medical appointments or email them directly to your healthcare provider.

Troubleshooting ECG Issues

App Not Available: ECG requires Samsung Health Monitor from Galaxy Store (not Play Store). Check country availability and ensure your watch is fully updated.
Inconclusive Results: Clean watch sensors, ensure finger maintains steady contact, sit completely still, and try different fingers. Cold hands can affect readings.
Not Syncing: Check Bluetooth connection, restart Samsung Health Monitor, and ensure both devices have latest software versions.

Classic Advantage

The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic rotating bezel makes ECG measurements easier since you touch the physical bezel rather than a touch-sensitive surface. Both Classic and standard models have identical ECG sensor technology and accuracy.
