Yes, but do you have to initiate the ECG every time? Will Apple Watch monitor for afib without you initiating the ECG?

No, you don't have to initiate the ECG. As long as you have the setting set to let you know, you will receive an alert if you are in A-fib longer than 10 minutes. You can always initiate the ECG as a backup, after the alert.
I believe the Galaxy Samsung watch also will do the same alert as Apple watch.
I will note here both watches are not medical grade ECG's, they are only single lead.
For me as someone that has no symptoms, I find it helpful.
