Blose: My favorite CGM Watch Face with Low Alarm Vibration.

[@maryfuller5173]

This is the FIRST app I've gotten to work with my Galaxy 4, and it was an easy setup!

[@goranelmertoft9034]

I agree that it was very simply described. Works great with Galaxy Watch Ultra too.

[@jeremythompson6337]

Amazingly simple to set up. Hardest part was typing in the follow password on the watch…. Thanks for the on-point tutorial!! Perfect, and a the best watch face we’ve found. And many thanks to the developer for making an incredibly simple app that shows all the important things a T1 needs to see with the turn of the wrist.

[@typ3me]

Agreed Jeremy, it really is a super clean and reliable watch face.

[@leslieshapiro4783]

OMG it works, it works finally I am so so happy. I'm using my Galaxy 4 watch with my Samsung s20 FE. The numbers were quickly accurately and finally. Thank you so so much. You made a serious difference to individuals with diabetes that depends on an accurate number and getting it quicker on a watch. Again thank you so much.

[@MrKaj73]

Thanks for reviewing my app! Hm, switching units when configuring the app should of course automatically convert the values shown when configuring the alarms. I need to fix that. I should probably also create some kind of documentation. E.g Glucose tagets affects when high/low colors should be used on the watch face, and are also used when stats are calculated. Regarding complications: I first intended to support complications, but couldn't visually find a place to display them. I might in the future create a different watch face, that only shows current bg, and 2 or 3 complications, and has the graph as a tile.

Hi MrKaj, I'm very honored to have you comment on this review. You did an outstanding job, and my community looks forward to your future projects. Feel free to reach out to me directly via email if you want to work together on whatever you come up with next in regards to diabetes. Feel free to occasionally check the comments on this video to see any issues or resolutions your users may have discovered, as well.

Are there any known issues if a password is above a certain length? The password that we are using is longer than I was expecting and I cannot find a setting to be able to view the password before attempting to verify it. The password line as a whole shifts position when I get the end and I am not sure that it is submitting correctly, and if it is, then I simply cannot get the watch face app to work for us. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!

[@MrKaj73]

@@QuestionPrime Hi, I checked the code, and did some tests in the debugger. There shouldn't be any limitations on password length. I tried to enter a password that was 140 characters long, and verified that it was both saved and restored correctly. I agree that it would be nice to be able to have a setting for showing the password while typing, but kind of hard to fit into the UI due to limited screen size.

[@rebelduke1]

If possible, I'd appreciate it if you would consider an other watch face (just the graphic), not the underlying data for old (82yrs.), half-blind people like me which displays larger Time and BG values with a black background option and a true white display of values. Surprisingly, there are quite a few of us scouring the various Watch Face groups for a solution. I'm looking for a watch face that just shows time (not seconds) and BG values. I'd like to see the values the size of the Wearable Widgets BG numbers. Unfortunately the WW time numbers are too small. I would be happy to contribute to financially support this effort. Thank you.

Yesterday I installed UI6 on my Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Today the Blose watch face is no longer available. It is obviously no longer supported. The app is still installed on the watch. Blose can still be integrated as a complication in other watch faces. Only the actual Blose watch face is gone. Very unfortunate, I loved this watch face.

[@stortebeker6464]

Edit: Use the newer "Blose Digital Watch face". This works fine with OneUI6.

[@typ3me]

What? No way. That's horrible news

[@stortebeker6464]

@@typ3me After updating to OneUI6, programmed watch faces are no longer allowed. But Kaj Bjurman designed a new watch face called "Blose Digital Watch Face". You need a current patched Blose app for this. The settings are a little tricky without instructions. I didn't look for instructions. I'm the kind of person who tries until it works. Now this watch face looks exactly like the old one. There seems to be a difference in the energy settings. Despite AOD being activated, the graph always disappears after a short time. No problem, because the glucose level is constantly displayed. It also uses less battery. I no longer have to charge it every day, but only every second day. OK, it can't be compared to a Garmin watch.

[@stortebeker6464]

I loved this watch face. But since installing the last security update for my Samsung smartphone (still based on Android 13), the Blose Watchface hardly shows any data anymore. Only sporadically, mostly nothing. So I returned to the Dexcom Watchface. This has no problems and always displays the data. The Blose watch face looked better and also showed me the battery level. But unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Let’s see what happens when I switch to the newer Omnipod 5 insulin pump. It runs in closed loop with the Dexcom G6. The compatibility list of smartwatches for Omnipod 5 has been published, but it is still very... um... manageable.

[@typ3me]

Thank you for the info. I'm curious what type of watch you have and what version of WatchOS it runs. I'm on the Galaxy watch 4 with OS3 and it still runs great.

[@stortebeker6464]

@@typ3me Wow, thanks for the answer. My phone is a Samsung A32 5G. OS: OneUI 5.1 / Android 13, patch level August 1st, 2023. My watch is a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5Pro, Wear 4.0, patch level July 1st, 2023. There is a problem with data not being displayed in the Blose Watch face only since installing the security update on the phone. Everything was fine before. Of course, there are better and newer phones. I have my health insurance promise to cover costs for my current Dexcom G6 and Omnipod DASH until the beginning of 2025. After that, I'll switch to Dexcom G6 and Omnipod 5 in closed loop. No problem with my health insurance. Since the Omnipod 5 is still very new and no one knows what the compatibility list will look like by then, I would like to wait until then to buy a new phone. It is possible that some security and energy settings on the phone will be changed again when an update is installed. Maybe I'll try again with a fresh install of Blose. To be honest, I only installed the Dexcom watch face after this problem. I was happy with Blose from the start and had no reason to try anything else. Greetings from Germany

Regarding Wear OS 5. Blose 1.x shown in the video isn't compatible with it. There's a new version, 2.x compatible with that version.

Slightly confused because I notice after the double-tap on the face I scroll to "Inet Access" and it says "bluetooth".

[@typ3me]

Yes, make sure to use the correct login credentials that work when you log into the Dexcom website.

[@MrKaj73]

That checkbox has a weird naming, and it's changed in the next release. It should say outside of US, since it should be checked for e.g Asia as well.

[@typ3me]

Sorry Neil, the technology does not exist yet. Hopefully, very soon.

[@andrew7629]

Does this require the G6 app to be installed on your phone or can this be used to follow someone else (My son in my case)? If I'm a follower on his G6 app/phone can I use Blose on my watch to follow his numbers if I enter the Dexcom credentials into my watch? It seems like it is pulling data from Dexcom servers rather than the phone itself over Bluetooth, which means I would be able to follow him, which would be great.

[@MrKaj73]

Yes, that works. You don't need the g6 app on the phone, but I recommend you to have it installed, just to get better alerts.

I just got a Dexcom G7. Could nto get G-wear to work, so I got blose.. It is ok, but I honestly like the look of the other app you showed on the watchface. Would like to now what app it is and if it works with the G7..

I think you're asking about the Samsung animated sphere. As long as you utilize Dexcom, Follow, it should work on G7. To he honest, I really prefer Blose it's super stable and reliable.

@@typ3me Oh ok. Thank you for the info. I wish I could have it as a panel on my watch or a complication, instead of the watchface itself, but I will take what I can get. I just really like my watchface setup and look, but my blood glucose is more important than style right now.

[@typ3me]

I also use both wear widget and blose as complications on some of the Samsung default watch faces.

[@PureChaos]

@typ3me Oh. I can use Blose as a complication? I was not aware of that. Will definitely look into it, because that would be perfect. So long as it still sends low glucose alerts (I have hypoglycemic events). Thank you very much

@@typ3me I set Blose as a complication. That is absolutely perfect! Thank you for that tip!

[@QuestionPrime]

Has anyone else reported an issue with the watch face logging out of Dexcom and not being able to reconnect? It appears that the last reading was about 40 minutes ago. I have tried restarting the watch with no success and clearing out and reentering username and password credentials. It does appear to be waiting on Verify longer than it had in the past.

[@typ3me]

No, you are definitely the first. I hope you can find a resolution, keep us posted

[@MrKaj73]

Are you still having issues? Double tap the watch face, then scroll down in the view that appears, and click on the log button. It might indicate what the problem is.

[@QuestionPrime]

I am so sorry. I thought my reply was posted. The Dexcom Share functionality had partially crashed that night as it turns out. Reddit was full of people who weren't able to figure out why share and follow wasn't working. It wasn't out for everyone it appears? but it cut out for us a couple of more times over the next few hours. All is good now as it works perfectly. again. Thanks for the troubleshooting tips.

Fantastic!

[@joshgoldstein1622]

The blose app seems to me disconnected or something from my watch... sometimes this happens but then it calibrates/reconnects usually within mins or after I restart my watch, but currently it hasn't been displaying my reading...(When i switch over to an older face from a video you posted earlier, the readings are there) any recommendations? Has this happened? Do I need to uninstall it and go through the same process again? Thanks

[@typ3me]

No, it hasn't, but a good ol' reinstall fixes so many issues. It's definitely worth a try.

[@MrKaj73]

It could otherwise be good to double tap on the watchface, and scroll down to, and click, on the button that says "log". It might indicate the cause of your problems.

Hi @type3me .. I was wondering why we have to share function to use the Blose app. Was wondering a way to install and use the app without sharing (even to myself). Any tips. Dom. Type1.

[@typ3me]

Hi Mog. Share allows for your CGM numbers to be sent to an information cloud created by Dexcom. Those numbers can be retrieved by apps like Blose that enable you to view those numbers on things like Suagrpixl or a smart watch. If you want, you can even set up a dummy account using a secondary email address of your own. You don't necessarily need anyone to be sharing with other than yourself.

[@AshokMahtani-f7g]

[@leslieshapiro4783]

Does this work with the Samsung s24 Plus?

[@MrKaj73]

Blose doesn't run any code on the phone. Blose installs directly to the watch, so it should support all phones that are supported by the watch.

[@anthonytorgerson4175]

Can you add the readings to another watch face as a data screen? Or do you have to switch watch faces every time you want to see your readings?

[@typ3me]

Hey Anthony, great question. The process to add certain features like CGM readings to a watch face are called "Complications". Although this watch face asks if you want to give it permission to receive complication data, I haven't been able to make it work on other faces from my Galaxy Watch 4. It's a process that I'm planning to explain in my next video. Do you mind if I use your question in the next video as a Kudos?

[@MrKaj73]

I initially planned to only implement a complication that could be used in other watch faces, and not a full watch face, but I then got concerned that the watch face that would show the complication possibly could show stale values, if e.g something crashed.

[@kdbjones1]

Is this strictly for Samsung phones or can it work on an IPhone?

[@typ3me]

Sorry this is only for Android OS phones.

[@MrKaj73]

Hm, what is the question? Blose runs on watches that runs WearOS v3 or later, and e.g Galaxy watches can be paired with iPhone, so Galaxy watch + iPhone + Blose should work, but it's not something I have tested.
