Does anyone know what’s the oldest Apple Watch that will work with the dexcom.
I don’t need to newest greatest for this.
I really only want it for glucose monitoring and I will,look to buy an older model or an outdated one.
But I want to be sure I don’t get one that is not supported.
I have the Apple watch 3 which can be bought new for well under $200, probably way less used. Always works for Dexcom readings. These watches are pretty fragile though, watch out for cracked screen if you buy used.

Some people are still using series 1, it works. But there are far more series 3 around, they are pretty cheap now and a much better device all round. The larger watch (42mm) has better battery life than the smaller (38mm).
When and if Dexcom ever release a transmitter with direct-to-watch connection it will almost certainly only support series 4 and upwards as these are the first model with Bluetooth 5.

I think series 3 is the lowest supported by Apple. I have a series 3 and it still works with the Dexcom app.
I actually just got a series 6 this week to replace my series 3 so I can at least report its working on both.
Look at Amazon for new series 3 watches. However, It looks like they come form 3rd party sellers. So that always gives me pause.
