Integration with Dexcom G6

[RachelC72]

Hi are there any further updates on when an app compatible with the Dexcom g6 app will be available for the fit bit versa. I bought mine on the basis that Fitbit said this would be developed by the end of 2018.

I am currently working on a watch face that is integrated with Dexcom.

[SarahCrowther]

This is exciting!! How is it going? 

[ahunter8850]

It's actually done .You can find it here: https://hunterwatchco.com

Let me know what you think!

[RachelC72]

 Brilliant thanks will try it out! 

[ahunter8850 · Accepted solution]

Awesome. It is integrated with dexcom share. So just log in with that and you will get realtime data on your watch!

[RachelC72]

Thanks. Just trying it now? Do I need to add an email to add the fit bit  as a follower? 

[ahunter8850]

You should be able to just login with your dexcom account. The same email and password.

I’m struggling....sorry, I’m not very tech savvie. I’ve got the watch face (looks great) and I put my Dexcom username and password in settings but the figures don’t show on the watch. Do I need the Dexcom Follow app too?

[RachelC72]

I can’t do either -  I can’t download the watch face from fit bit as it says paid for content and without an email I can’t add Fitbit as a follower.

[ahunter8850]

Yes the watch face is paid .So once you install it on your watch, it will prompt a code.

Once you do that it will unlock.

In the settings app, you enter in your Dexcom username and password (whichever is tied to your dexcom device). 

You don't need the follow app installed .

I made this for my brother in law (so i am personally pretty new to the Dexcom world)    he can monitor his wife's numbers on his watch. He just logged in with her username and password and it works great.

If it still doesn't work after trying different logins, let me know and we will sort it out!

[SarahCrowther]

Thanks. Will try all that. My sensor has an issue now (unrelated to the watch face) so it may take a while!!

[ahunter8850]

I'm sorry you're having a hard time with this. Thank you for working with me. Could you please try doing this stuff on your dexcom app?

I know you mentioned above needing the follow app, you could've been right! So let's try that video tutorial above .

Thanks for your patience .

[SarahCrowther]

I’ve got the follow app set up and the G6 app on my phone. Only my Dexcom account has a username and password which is what I’m using and still no joy. I’m so sorry!! 

[ahunter8850]

Don't apologize! I'm totally happy to help out. Where are you located?

[SarahCrowther]

England. 

[ahunter8850]

I’m so dumb.. I should’ve asked that first.. There is an update that is waiting to be approved. It will fix that issue and let you connect. It should be approved early this week!

You are the BEST!! Let me know if I need to do anything. Otherwise I will keep the watchface in and wait for it to sync. X

[ahunter8850]

I am so sorry for the trouble. I will post here early next week when it clears and check in on you.

In the mean time, feel free to try some of my other watch faces. I will provide you a very large discount code for your troubles!

That is so kind but if this works I will happily pay you 10x what you charge for the watch face. Compatibility with Dexcom G6 was promised by Fitbit 18 months ago and hasn’t happened so I’m sure many others on here would do likewise.
