@Davidriccio. I don’t believe it will, because Samsung uses a different OS than WearOS. If somehow you do get it to work, I would be especially interested in the how, as i do like that watch.

You could always take a look at the NightScout/XDrip website. Who knows, maybe someone has finally cracked the Tizen OS.

@Davidriccio I think you can get readings on it by using the app Wearable Widgets. If you Google “wearable widgets and xDrip” I think you’ll find instructions.

Edit: as a matter of fact, instructions are on this forum

> Hi! I recently bought the samsung galaxy watch active and i also recently saw the miaomiao. Then i did some research and found out that tizen and dripx do not work together. But does anyone know if i can show/get notification from dripx on my watch? Because i do not quiet understand the difference between the watch as a collector and getting notification? Hope someone can help me out. If i can see the readings on my watch i will probably buy the miaomiao for my fsl.

Thank you @docslotnick for the correct information. Apparently I am behind on new improvements.
