Garmin’s smartwatches are pretty popular in the United States and Europe, so the multinational company is trying to keep them updated. One of the features that most of Garmin’s smartwatches have been lacking in comparison with the competition is ECG support.

The ability to measure atrial fibrillation was only available on Garmin Venu 2 Plus, but that’s about to change. The company has just confirmed that the ECG app is coming to more Garmin smartwatches, so if you own any mode from the list below, look for an update that will bring this new feature.

In a post on Twitter, Garmin revealed that the ECG app is now available for epix Pro, Venu 3, and Fenix 7 Pro smartwatches. Yes, there are a bunch of other Garmin smartwatches that have yet to get the app, but the company told Android Central that “it intends to continue to expand its portfolio of products supporting the ECG app and launch it in new regions in-line with necessary regulatory approval.
