[Gambit]

I see Apple has finally enabled the ECG and irregular heart rhythm functionality on the latest WatchOS 6.2.8. Only took about 2 years, not bad. Now when are we getting apple pay?

I had the same issue last night but there is an update for the phone as well now. Bazinga it works and my heart is all good.

Definitely iOS14 beta. I was on it but reverted back to iOS13 and now it works.

Bugger My old Apple Watch is too old, Series II and I am going to get a Garmin Fenix 6 hopefully soon.

Confirmed, iOS 14 Beta (p2) still does not allow ECG. Have submitted a bug report.

How did you revet back as your backup is in ios 14 or did you do a hard backup?

If you made a backup via iTunes/Finder (Catalina) then you could archive it, and use that as a rollback backup.

It will likely be in the next version, hopefully, but I don't think there is a way to roll back from Watch OS 7.

So, I am not sure if it is a bug, but I was able to start the Apple Pay setup process on iOS 14, but it said that my card issuer (Discovery Bank) has not enabled Apple Pay. Wonder if that is a sign of things to come?
