Heart-rate tracking and ECG

How to Use ECG on your Google Pixel Watch

Google Pixel Watch can track your heart rate all day to give key inputs to health and activity metrics like resting heart rate, Active Zone Minutes, and more. Learn more about how to track heart rate.

When installed from the Google Play Store, the Fitbit ECG app¹ on Google Pixel Watch can detect your heart rhythm. When you use the Fitbit ECG app, your heart rhythm data is analyzed for signs of AFib. While only a doctor can diagnose AFib, the results of this assessment can help to identify if your heart rhythm displays signs of the condition.
