Smartwatch and libre sensor

Fancy a bit of history? An old post of mine with what was the first stand alone designated wrist reader & alarm.
(Which transmitted to the phone.)
Then for some reason the support & updates on the devices stopped, making this bit of kit running on an “xDrip light” redundant..

Hi,

My 6.5Y old daughter with D1 Is going to School and we are wondering if there Is any smartwatch on the market which connects with Miao Miao and sends results to xdrip without any phone? It would be convenient for her to wear only a smartwatch instead of phone. All the smartwatches I've found needs a phone to connect with and to send data to xdrip. Thank you in advance!

Hi @pampy87 welcome to the forum.

@ANTJE is correct my Watlaa one is a standalone watch. But needs a Bluetooth bridge to scan & constantly send data to a stripped back xDrip on the watch’s firmware...

Hi @Melgar .

The L2 became a full on CGM on release. Prior to that the Libre MKI was a flash monitor that needed NFC scanning.. Though there where a couple of 3rd party Bluetooth “bridges” in the L1 era that could constantly NFC scan & send readings to 3rd party developed apps like Diabox or Glimp?

However with the Libre 2 & the plus (15 day sensor.) it still needs to be NFC scanned on initial start up to initiate BT pairing with the device reading it.. Each sensor has a unique code.



My only gripe is watch battery life. The tech as it stands right now works fantastic for me..
I rarely pull my phone out of my pocket. & only use the alarms on the watch as a discreet buzz.
I don’t even pull my wallet anymore with “tap & pay.”
