Hi there, I am wondering if the following set up is available:  
My son (T1) wears a Libre 2. Currently he wears the reader as his alarm system. I was hoping to slightly change this set up so I can monitor while I am at work or if he is sleeping (he sleeps through his alarms). My preferred set up would be through an apple watch that I wear. Does this mean he has to get a phone to ‘connect’ with my Apple watch to do this? Thanks for any suggestions

That’s probably what you need. There’s no way pair the reader with an apple watch, but with a phone it should work:
