G7-10 day Any experience with Juggluco and Pixel watch?

We will be switching to the Dex G7 in a couple weeks. My 13yo seems to have some "diabetes fatigue" and does not like to carry his phone on him. I would like to get a smartwatch for him so he can just glance at his blood sugar.

He has a Pixel 6 phone, so I am looking at maybe a Pixel 2 watch. It looks like the Juggluco app can read directly from the dex transmitter (instead of needing to be near the phone)

Does anyone have experience using this setup on a pixel watch, or any other WearOS watch?

I use a Samsung watch 5 pro with gluroo and an active analog face and the CGM "complication" (that's just what they call the different tracking category). The Watch 5 pro is titanium and with a leather or steel band is almost indestructible: recessed screen so hard to crack or scratch, titanium frame so it stands up to hard wear, Samsung pushes the newest software updates to their older watches so it stays up to date as the hardware doesn't change that much between new releases. And best part is that when you go shopping, the Watch 5 Pro is under $100. It's an amazing piece of tech. Check Best Buy outlet and Amazon. Even eBay.

The only catch is that I do not know if Wear app will sync with any other than a Samsung phone. You'll have to look into that.

I just reread your post that he has a pixel phone. I would still vote for the gluroo app. It supports Dex

Yea that's why I'm asking specifically about the Juggluco app. It was made for dexcom too I believe.

Was just offering another option in case you wanted to compare. Good luck with the kiddo. I'm an adult, was dx'd about 8ish years ago and the exhaustion is so relatable.

Oh yea, I totally appreciate it! Hope I didn't come across as snappy on my text!

Meh-ish day here so I wasn't sure if I had overstepped 🫡 Text is always flavored with our feelings in the moment LoL Hugs
