After an ECG option was discovered on its Venu 2 Plus smartwatch, it appears that Garmin is working on adding ECG functionality to its smartwatches and sports watches.DC Rainmaker was the one to find the feature hidden in the watch's diagnostics menus, which is supposed to help Garmin's techies debug difficulties with the gadget.The ECG diagnostics page was first discovered in January by a user who posted about it in a Garmin forum, but Rainmaker has finally been able to access it to test it out.

Because this was concealed in the diagnostic part of the program, there was no way to share or export the data to verify its accuracy.It's hardly unexpected that Garmin would follow Apple, Samsung, and even Coros in incorporating ECG capability into one of its watches. The fact that the Venu 2 Plus has ECG capabilities might indicate that Garmin is working on bringing it to its smartwatches sooner rather than later.The Venu series is unmistakably Garmin's response to the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, both of which use ECG sensors to identify indications of atrial fibrillation.

Currently, the Coros Vertix 2 is the only sports watch with an ECG sensor, which is utilized to provide workout recovery state information rather than for health monitoring. If you're a Garmin fan who's been wanting for its watches to receive the same huge health tracking capabilities as Apple and Samsung's smartwatches, this is a fairly encouraging find.
