I'm not sure whether that would actually work with Libre 2. (I'm imagining installing xDrip+ on the phone (with OOP2) and that that would just work with this watch, but I'm not confident of that.)

I am using a Pixel Watch with Juggluco. Juggluco runs on both the phone and watch (and is a regular application in the app stores). With the latest update it seems to work well. (I previously had a more complex setup also including xDrip+.)

I'm not sure whether it's worth the money just for this purpose (I'm sure either of the recent Samsung watches would work just as well and are a bit cheaper).

Just installing (and using) Juggluco does seem worthwhile: it shows the glucose value on the phone's lock screen without the need to scan, and offers a wider range of options for alarms.

Thank you for this
 
I confess I'm not sure for how long I'll keep using this. It seems quite possible that having the value right there on my watch will become just too much after the novelty wears off.
 
I'm using a ticwatch and diabox and sending the reading to my watch using wearable widgets
