ECG in Thailand

[Pangpangpang]

When will ECG be available in Thailand? Can I bypass the country and set myself to live in countries that can access this app? I bought the watch because of this feature but just realized that it's not supported.

@Pangpangpang no timeline for Thailand as far as I know.

Certification @Pangpangpang is up to the country.

Nobody answered the question. If the residence setting is set to another country the ECG function appears to still not work if you are physically located in a country without approval. I am in Bangkok currently although residence is Czech. However, even when I disable the data connection to the internet nothing happens and when using data it comes back that it does not work in my location.sp rather than being based on the user it is based on the location which is idiotic and probably because of useless lawyers. So it someone travels to a country where it is not supported it will not work. I sincerely hope I am wrong. Has anybody else figured out how to get it to work when a person from a country where it is working goes to a country where it is not yet certified and finds it working? Why sell a product that is uncertified in a country at all? All you do is piss people off with unfulfilled customer expectations. Bad business.

I got the same problem recently. I think it’s not fair and should be stated on the site in capital letters that not all functionality is available.

agree! apple can now use ecg in Thailand but it's too sad that fitbit can't.

I tried to vpn myself out of Thailand by following random Youtube channel, but still can't. Just hoping that Fitbit will be able to use this feature like apple just did.

Maybe the GPS is where it gets location from? 

[Pangpangpang]

Yeah, probably. 😕

Not really. The smaller the print, the more important it is. Everyone knows this, or at least they should.
