The Watch records AF (Atrial Fibrillation) events and tells you what your blood pressure is at anytime. You can set it for alerts but as I generally can feel when my heart is 'out of whack' I will use this for confirmation and, if asked forward the reading to my doctor.
It's a lot easier than being hooked up to ECG sensors and machines and, while the manufacturers are at pains to say that the Watch does not guarantee readings and will not predict heart attacks (their lawyers no doubt enforced this), the readings are apparently pretty good and many doctors wear the Apple Watches themselves. My sister and brother in law are both doctors and both use them.
