Apple has highlighted in a new ad on its YouTube channel how the Apple Watch alerted a runner, Connor, to a serious heart problem. After Connor experienced a very fast heart rate while training for a triathlon, he used the ECG app on his Apple Watch, which detected signs of atrial fibrillation.

The ad emphasizes the potential life-saving capabilities of the Apple Watch's ECG feature.
