Is there a possibility that my watch can have ECG app?

Hi, I just purchased an Apple Watch Series 5 44mm GPS from the internet and this is the first time I use Apple Watch so I'm kinda excited.

Unfortunately, after using it couple of days, I realized that the watch doesn't come with ECG and that is because it's originated in Japan.

I'm staying in Singapore which is under Apple's ECG coverage, yet I have no idea that there is no ECG services for certain countries and also how to check the watch's originated country.

Is there a possibility that my watch can have ECG app? It's kinda sad when I look at people around who are using AWS 4 that come with built-in ECG app while I don't have this feature in my AWS 5... T_T

For the ECG app to work on your watch the ECG app has to be approved by;

1. the government of the country in which the watch was bought and

2.the government of the country in which you reside.


Unfortunately Japan hasn't approved the ECG app yet so you won't be able to use the ECG app until they approve it.
