Exactly.

In my life I've had one doctor who performed an EKG as part of my annual checkup, once.

The other ~10 primary care physicians I've had never did -- my annual was mostly just a few questions, some blood work, quick reflex tests and I think they looked in my ears and eyes.

If my Apple Watch detected a heart irregularity, I can say with certainty it's not something that would be caught otherwise at my next annual checkup.

At my last physical my doctor did an EKG. It was not requested by me. I guess it all depends on your doctor.
