Detailed Answer:
Hello

After going through the ECG image of your Apple Watch I would like to tell you that the feature of ECG in Apple Watch is designed only to detect one arrhythmia that is atrial fibrillation (irregular beating) and should not be used as a substitute to a proper ECG if patient had any sort of symptoms like chest discomfort or palpitations.

Although the ecg image is not showing any abnormality but I would like to suggest you to kindly get a proper ecg done if your father had any symptoms or if he is diabetic or hypertensive.

Kind Regards
