Found this but seems to apply to children using the CGM rather than adults.

I have no personal experience of it but aware that you can connect an apple watch using xDripIOS. You will still need your phone as the watch is unable to collect the data direct from the sensor.
My phone is an Android and I don't use a smart watch so cannot advise any further.

Yes, you can display readings from xDrip4IOS on an Apple Watch using the calendar complication. As Helli says, you do need the phone close by, and readings do disappear every now and then, but I have found it useful to get them “at a glance”.
BUT - unless you already have xDrip4IOS, you will currently not be able to get it (it’s not available in the App Store, but was through TestFlight) due to actions by Apple. I would suggest you join the xDrip4IOS Facebook group for the latest information.
