Does the FreeStyle Libre 3 and 3 Plus work with Apple Watch?
What FreeStyle Libre 3 and 3 Plus’s own apps (Libre app, FreeStyle Libre 3 app, LibreLinkUp) do, from the maker’s documents.
Yes
The Libre app has a companion Apple Watch app that shows the reading, trend arrow and graph, and mirrors alarms from the phone. It needs Apple Watch Series 4 or later; the older FreeStyle Libre 3 app is iPhone only. LibreLinkUp is an iPhone-only app; its notifications can mirror to a paired watch. (Abbott; App Store listing)
In the US, Abbott's Libre app replaces the FreeStyle Libre 3 app, whose App Store listing says it is not the latest app.
With Glide
Yes
Glide has an Apple Watch app and two watch face complications. The watch signs in from the iPhone; the app shows the number, the change per 5 minutes, how old the reading is and the last 3 hours. (/libre#apple-watch)
