AFIB and ECG

If I understand well most Fitbit can detect AFIB using the heart rate sensor. So what does the Sense 2 ECG do? Can it detect more or different types of heart beats irregularities? I currently have the Versa 4. Would it make sense to return it and get a Sense 2 instead?

@jml9905   The ECG app is available on the Sense, Sense 2 and the Charge 5, because they have the necessary hardware.  It lets you record a 30 second Lead I ECG.  It can't detect any other heart rhythm irregularities.  It gives one of three interpretations: normal sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation or inconclusive.  ECG app 

 

Any decision to switch devices depends on your health history, especially your heart health history.  I think you should have this discussion with your doctor.
