I want to start using a smartwatch for looping. From what I have read you must use a Wear OS watch. I really like the Galaxy Active 3 but it runs Tizen. Is there a work around?

This might work or lead to another solution.

I use a wear os (TWP3) watch, but I recently set up my friend’s galaxy 3 watch with one of those FreDiabetes watch faces for her. I had tried to use them myself, but they were glitchy, but perhaps because the instructions were written for tizen os, you may end up ok. My friend hasn’t mentioned any issues.

bought a fossil wear os watch. My main thing is being able to bolus/temp basal from the watch. I prefer not to have my phone out behind the bar. Thanks for all the insight.
