Display CGM Data on Your Watchface
Once the CGM+ App is installed and configured, you can display your glucose data on compatible watchfaces. All my watchfaces here on watchface.io support CGM datafields.
Example of CGM data displayed on a watchface
Configure CGM Datafields
- Open the Garmin Connect IQ app
- Go to My Devices → Select your watch
- Tap Watch Faces
- Select the watchface you want to configure
- Tap Settings
- Navigate to a datafield position (e.g., "Top Field", "Bottom Left", etc.)
- Scroll through the datafield options and select one of the CGM options:
- CGM+ GB (Dexcom, Libre, Nightscout, xDrip): Shows current glucose reading with trend arrow and with progress as defined in the app
- CGM - Other: Shows current glucose reading, with progress as defined in the watchface settings (Use as alternative when the first option is not available)
- Repeat for other datafield positions if desired
- Tap Save and sync to your watch
