No the Apple Watch will not connect directly to the transmitter, it must have the signal sent from the application on the iPhone. There is a way to directly connect with a non-apple watch using xdrip+ in place of the official app see discussion here:

> Eric; I have been asked by a very unlikely source to help a T1D. This diabetic wants to have a ‘standalone’ watch with the xDrip application. The source is a Dexcom employee. He knows I use the SWR50 with xDrip. This employee also says he gets many requests for this information. I hesitate to offer a detailed step by step detail for this setup. I am sure that this person would also like to know of any other watch that offers this fool-proof standalone operation. Dennis
