I do! No need to scan. it is automatic, the results are sent to your phone every 5 mins via bluetooth. I use the app on my phone so no need to have a reader. You can get the app free on the app store or android equivalent. also there is a widget which allows you to see your graph with out having to unlock the phone, you just swipe the lock screen and it shows the graph.

Hi runner,
I'm using a G6 without a pump and use my phone rather than a reader beacuse the screen size is larger. The down-side is that I need to keep my phone with me all the time as well as charged. I also fear losing or breaking my phone so maybe a reader like a watch avoids this.
