Hi,
I also had a Medtronic azure fitted last year, 2022. I also use my Garmin watch to record my running and cycling times. It’s also useful to monitor heart rates but I don’t think it is totally accurate. So far I feel OK no changes, but I believe it’s useful to keep these little gadgets, to include smartphones at least six inches away from our pacemakers. But that is my personal opinion.
The best thing would be to ask the electro physiologists who monitor the pacemaker, or try and speak to a cardiologist, if you can!
Good luck.
