Direct to Watch is on my wrist! Set up and all info you need

Yes, this title is correct, Direct to Watch is now out in the UK. Update your Dexcom G7 app and your existing G7 sensor will connect to the watch directly. If your Dexcom G7 does not show you an update, open the App Store on the Dexcom G7 page and leave it open. After 30 sec or so, the "Open" button will change to "Update"- this update includes the Direct to Watch functionality and will also update your watch app.

During ATTD in Florence, I had the pleasure of catching up with Alex Moussa- Senior Vice President and General Manager of EMEA and LATAM for Dexcom. Alex explained how the new direct to watch functionality works and how it works when using an integrated pump.

If you have any questions about direct to watch, let me know in the comments and I will help out!

Can't wait for this in the Netherlands!

For kids that goes to primary school, this is life saver!

Still waiting on the G7 in Australia I would just be happy to have that

[mgronebe]

Can you please make another video about this? so how well it works. Is the blood sugar always (!) displayed on the watch face, or do you have to open the app every now and then so that the value is displayed on the watch face? THX

[SwissPGO]

The big thing would be that the API would be published, so that any developers can integrate the data on any other device!

[williamthorpe]

Can't wait for this in North Carolina! I believe there would be an Apple Watch complication allowing user to pick and choose what to display. For sure you can display blood sugar continuously with the right complication, This can be done today with just the current iPhone IOS

Hope this coming soon to Germany ... I am really happy with my G7 System.

[vicki]

@nerdabetic Are you still using the Omnipod ?

I added the Apple Watch to my Dexcom connections. Works sort of ok. Was at a ball game yesterday and walked to concession stand a little walk from stands. Kept losing signal and the little phone icon would show next to readings. Makes me nervous to not have phone with me.

My son uses G6/Tandem but the amount of alarms are maddening. He is looking to switch to Libre 2 or 3 to try to eliminate some alarm fatigue. I wish alarms were our choice and not the company's. When linked to a pump, all of the alarm decisions are made by the pump. Sadly, that takes away the incentive to connect them for him. However, if he got to decide which ones he wanted so he could get a night of uninterrupted sleep then this would interest him. All he really wants is extreme low alarms for sleep.At times he may would add a high alarm but not multiple notifications like when it rides the line of 200 just enough to bounce back and forth and activate that alarm over and over.

does the sensor directly connect to the Apple Watch or must be the phone still and permanently in the reach of the sensor, inside the 10 days period?

[jerbaker]

They’ve given us Dexcom G7s without Direct to Watch in Australia. Not happy

[tdpanic]

What is even more painful for me about the Apple Watch experience is the frequency of updated readings to the Dexcom watch face complication. For anyone who has used direct to apple watch, does this change the experience of the watch complication at all? Or does it still lag and you have to tap on it to force an update?

[bruxis]

This is great, really hope Medtronic gets on this soon.. would be great not to need my phone to sync to my watch

[mikel]

Will the Follow App work if the user is only using the Apple Watch.

[SsarahWwilson]

My watch is literally on the same arm as my sensor and it will. Not. Connect. It’s been 7 hours now and keeps saying it’s trying to find a connection. My phone and sensor have no problem connecting, connection is strong, but my 6th gen watch absolutely won’t connect im so annoyed 😭

[MrTshakeshake]

Does anyone have any idea why the Xiaomi 13Pro won't work with the Dexcom G7 app? when my son checks the Android store the app isn't listed but the g6 app is.

[mden]

This really seems to be for those who are going out for run, a swim, marathon, or are involved in an all day sporting event for example, because 99.5% of people are still going have there phones with them.Next question is though bluetooth uses less battery life than wifi, I suspect it’s going to effect battery life on Apple Watch.

[TheeDoughboy]

I would love Apple to include Blood Glucose levels right next to the Heart Rate. Garmin has it their workout views now.

Do I need a phone better than 7 plus and witch 🍏 watch
