A conglomerate of novelties that will make our device better. Now it's time to test to see if the battery autonomy has improved or not. Apple is a surprise in this area, every time you update your devices.
What's new in WatchOS 5.1.2:

But the most notable novelty is that the ECG app has been activated to perform electrocardiograms. This feature is only approved for use in the US after receiving approval from the FDA , the administration responsible for approving devices for medical use.
If you live in the United States you can use this new function, if you have a Apple Watch Series 4 and follow these steps:
- Make sure your Apple Watch is snug and on the wrist you selected in the Apple Watch app. To check, open the Apple Watch app, tap the My Watch tab, and then go to General> View guidance.
- Open the ECG app on your Apple Watch.
- Rest your arms on a table or in your lap.
- With the hand opposite your watch, keep your finger on the digital crown. There is no need to press the digital crown during the session.
- Wait. The test lasts 30 seconds. At the end of the test, you will receive a rating, then you can tap Add Symptoms and choose your symptoms.
- Tap Save to write down any symptoms, then tap Done.
