Hi i have a miaomiao device and would like to buy smartwatch to use xdrip and my miaomioa device could anyone reccomend me one thats good and compatible for android phone thanks
 
Hi,

I am using a Watlaa one. Basic smart watch for MM & XDrip. With Android.
It vibrate alarms too..
 
Nice can I ask how much it costs around and are there any other smart watches that you know will work with miaomiao and xdrip. Thanks

Feel free to compare the Watlaa to the Ticwatch. (Another compatable device.)
If you just wish a timepiece that give you your BGs too? The watlaa is a reasonably sturdy competitive price.
 
I've dug up the links to both devices.

I don't normally do watches however. If I thought there was one little snag with the Watlaa? A physical button on the side to activate the home screen befor the touch scrolling?
Other than that, it's a nice sleek clear to read, easy to navigate watch for the price.
Edited to add; mine came with 2 magnetic charge cables & a spare sports style strap too.

& the other one.

There may actually be more. Don't let my bias on the price sway you..

The Fitbit Versa 2 is compatible at around £200 but I think the Versa 3 is the same price so could get that also?

There is a watch face called Glance where you enter your XDrip details and it should automatically relay information from MM to phone then to watch.

Haven’t tried doing it myself though, I have the watch but couldn’t deal with Libre inaccuracies and at that price point if I have to calibrate a few times a day then what’s the point? Waste of £100/month

Hi,

Calibration wise, I check in the morning & good to go.. I will test later in the day. With the MM it sends data at 5minute intervals. In the case of an arrow slope, I count 3or 4 dots back on the xDrip graph (representing 15/20 minutes ago.) due to the time lag on the meter. If the representation is within 0.6/8ish to the meter? I'm happy with that.
Some folk scan then wait 20?
Though, I do agree with others the Libre is slow to respond coming up off a low. Which is where keeping a meter handy as a driver is advisable.

I'll tag in @porl69 who had a Ticwatch I believe & now a Watlaa. @Fairygodmother too. (Watlaa.)
