Apple Watch 9 vs heart monitor

My Apple Watch 9 showed several incidents of AFib on ECG app, but a heart monitor worn at the same time showed no AFib. Is anyone else having this happen?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10

That is because the Apple Watch is not always scanning for arrythmias. I'm not sure how the software works. It does seem to "learn" as it goes - either that or I'm having more persistant Afib now.


If you notice your heart beating and it feel irregular and your pulse is changing - go to the Emergency Room. Do not wait.
