I have waited so long for this from ‘Garmin’ that I have, by now, kind of lost interest. Plus, I don’t really need it — at least for now.

When Garmin failed to deliver I messed around with a couple of ‘handheld’ ECG/EKG monitors. They were CUTE but made me realize that they were kind of gimmicky. Fun the first few times but the novelty soon wears OFF IF your heart is in reasonable good shape. That is the key.

It will be interesting to see IF Garmin will make this a SOFTWARE UPDATE to its HIGH-END watches or whether it will use it as an excuse to tempt us to buy a new iteration of watches.

I currently have a ‘Epix Gen 2‘ — which is UP THERE. I like it. It does everything I want & a lot more. I am NOT sure I will part with it just to get one with ECG. Let’s wait & see. I will, of course, keep you posted.
