The long-anticipated Pixel Watch was released weeks ago with a lot of features(although with a little turn-off in the battery section). Nonetheless, the Google Pixel Watch is still equipped with a lot of software features, one of which is the ECG. Should you not know how to take ECG reading on Pixel Watch, this article is here to guide you on all there is to it.
First off, before you get to know how to take ECG reading on a Pixel watch, you should know how the Pixel watch operates to get this ECG reading. The smartwatch uses an electrical sensor to get electrical signals from your heart and then convert them to a suitable heart rhythm reading. There’s a specific profile your heart rhythm reading is supposed to be in, however, if it reaches what is called the AFib on the Fitbit app, you will have to see the doctor. AFib is when the rhythm of the upper heart chambers doesn’t coincide with that of the lower.
