Has anyone any info regarding smart watches that can link to libre2 sensors..? There are watches that connect with the dexcom system but libre2...???
 
It depends on what you use to record the data from the Libre.

XDrip+ supports a range of watches, some via XDrip+ itself (see here https://xdrip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/smartwatch/smartwatch/#smartwatch-sensors, not sure how up to date it is) and others such as the Garmin I used supported via XDrip+'s webserver (for the Garmin a ConnectIQ "app" reads that data and sends it over to the watch).

JugGluco has direct Android Wear integration, it also provides a webserver with the same format as XDrip+'s, so e.g. Garmins also work using that.

There may well be others, those are the ones I know about.
 
I don’t think you can connect to your watch directly using the libre app. You need to connect the libre to a third party app (I use Shuggah on iPhone, but there are others), disable Bluetooth access for the libre app (v important step), and then in the third party app enable calendar complications (so the app writes your BS to your calendar). This is how your watch picks it up (through the calendar). At least that’s how it works on iPhone/ Apple Watch.

Remember to still manually scan your libre, otherwise your consultant might be a little annoyed
 
I’m also using shuggar with an iPhone, I’ve got Bluetooth turned on in LibreLink so no scanning & shuggar sends readings to my garmin watch every 5 minutes
Have to delete & reinstall libre every sensor change but shuggar keeps reading the old sensor while the new one is warming up
