@shmerdloff I too have that happen all day. Set the alerts to low but they are still loud. Even people who have the worst hearing can still hear it! What did he do about it?

From all the reviews of glucose watchers, the accuracy isn’t there. It will be reasonably accurate at times but when glucose gets in the lower or upper ranges it fails. Definitely not to be used in making dosing decisions.
I’d like to know how watch readings compare with a finger stick.
A glucose watch should not be confused with a watch that displays the readings from a CGM. Totally different animal. YouTube channel Type One Talks tested 3 from Amazon several years ago. And recently a company sent him their glucose watch for review. Analysis was like it was preprogrammed to give similar varying results throughout the day. I’m Type 1 for 55+ years. I would not consider a dedicated glucose watch at this time. Suitable for entertaining purposes only. IMHO
