Hi, I’ve recently installed xdrip + on my android phone (one+ 6). I’m about to go on a motorcycling tour through the Alps and require an easily accessible blood glucose reading. For some reason, I can’t get my bsl displayed on my Smartwatch 3.  
I’ve deleted the Android Wear app, reinstalled it and reset the watch to no avail.  
The xdrip app is on the smartwatch 3 but where the blood glucose level is usually displayed I have only dashes! I.e. " \_ \_ \_-- "  
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@Timdiabetic Did you enable the smartwatch from the phone? Settings\>Smartwatch features\>Android wear Integration and Enable wear collection service? If you are using a G5, check G5/G6 Debug Settings\>authenticate G5 before each reading.

Make sure you have Google Play Services installed. And turn on location.
