    Hope this is the correct forum, please move if not thanks.


    Can anyone recommend a personal ECG/Heart Rhythm Monitor in a watch form that I can wear 24 hours day and download the information to laptop or the likes? It needs to record the tracing of a heart rhythm/ECG and not a heartbeat or heart rate monitor.



    Not looking to spend a lot of money on it.


    Thanks in advance.

    I could be mistaken but I really doubt there is any watch that can give an accurate ECG when it worn around the wrist. Any kind of clinical test requires a 12 lead ECG in order to give an accurate recording of the electrical activity of the heart. i just don't see how this would be possible in a watch.

    Actually seen an add on facebook today for the very thing.
    Can't for the life of me remember the name though.
    Approved by medics apparently and 24hr ECG monitoring.
    If your on FB a search might bring it up.
    If I see it again I'll come back!

    It's either accurate enough to detect an arrhythmia or it's not, theres no inbetween.
