If you're measuring (or applying) voltage on skin, you get cleaner data if you use conductive gel, since you have less chance of a poor electrical contact between sensor and skin.
If you can't use it though, you can't use it. The data may have glitches, anomalous readings, but most of it will be pretty good most of the time, or they wouldn't bother with the feature. I'm also not sure what the apple watch's sensing mechanism is. Is it reading voltage or is it measuring something else that's correlated?

You do it once, you want it to come out clean, you want it to come out right, and you may make treatment decisions based upon it. The watch is always running, can throw out large quantities of glitches & anomalous readings, and only produces an alert to seek followup.
