I had a Samsung Galaxy Active 3 that kept saying I was in AFib after I exercised. Went to a cardiologist and they hooked me up to a monitor for 4 weeks. Even though the watch detectected AFib 3 more times, the real heart monitor didn't see anything like that. Wondering what the real false positive rate is on these things. Also, would be interesting to compare between manufacturers.

I haven't heard of any false positives on the Apple Watch - and you know if there was, it would be a huge deal on the internet, probably with a -gate suffix.
