Again we have to talk about the ECG function of the Apple Watch and it seems that the Cupertino company already has all the necessary permits and all the approvals from the Japanese regulators so that it can be activated in the coming days (or weeks) on supported devices. In this case These are the Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 5.
It seems that the tool to perform the ECGs of Apple smart watches took a long time to be approved in the country and it is that according to the iPhone Mania media, The approval of the Japanese regulators was obtained on Friday, September 4.
Problems with the regulations of each country
And it is that this great tool already took a little longer than expected to be launched in more countries outside the United States. The health regulations of each country are different and this is demonstrated by the approval of these tools in each of the countries that is already present, some took longer and others, such as Japan, still do not have it active. In this case, it must be clarified that Japan will be the last country to activate the function for its users since South Korea and Brazil received approval to use the ECG last August.
In any case, it seems that this measurement tool will soon be available in the country on compatible Apple Watch. The fact is that the media explains that this launch may be imminent since there is talk of the possibility that users have it active before even receiving the official version of watchOS 7.
