Can the Galaxy watch 4 be used to diagnose Atrial Fibrillation?

[asfartech]

I have a Samsung watch 4

And several times during extreme fatigue or exhaustion, it records that I have atrial fibrillation

Can the results of the watch be trusted?

I wouldn't completely trust it, but u can always go to your provider to get it checked.

@asfartech Personally, I would go to the doctor and get it checked out. I've never seen that on my GW 4 or GW5.

If you see a doctor and it turns out to be nothing, then you can ignore the warnings from the watch.
