Dexcom G7 not working with existing GC Dexcom data field and glance/app

As the title states, I'm wearing a new Dexcom G7 CGM and have the app installed on my iPhone (works perfectly as long as the iPhone is within 20 feet).  Installed the Dexcom app and data field from CG and walked through the install steps on my Fenix 7X Solar.  No blood sugar data is showing up on the watch data field or app.  Strangely the graph of the glucose data points populates with tiny dots representing blood glucose levels but no numbers and the main data field in the app says "NO DATA".  I started a run and got one initial glucose level then nothing throughout the rest of the 45 minute run, even though I had my phone with me.

It may just be early and there hasn't been time to get the Dexcom apps updated to be compatible with the newer G7 sensor?  I'll be patient.

    FWIW, I switched from the G6 to the G7 about 3 weeks ago and not been having a good experience with the Dexcom widget and data field on my fenix 6S pro - I see "No Data". As mentioned previously, I turned on sharing and set myself as a follower in the G7 app on my phone, and then installed the Follow app and started following myself.
    Did not help.
    I contacted Dexcom support and they suggested that I needed to uninstall and reinstall the Dexcom widget and data field on the watch via the Garmin Connect IQ app. I did this, then added the widget and data filed back into their correct positions in all of my activities on the watch, signed back in to my Dexcom account for the widget and the data field, and things still do not work properly. 
    Did anyone catch all of that? It's a lot freaking steps with absolutely no documentation on Dexcom's support pages. In fact, I could find no information there about integrations with Garmin devices at all in there. Weak sauce.
    Considering switching back to G6 because of this.

    I tried this and I still have no data field data. The widget on normal watch works fine but anything related to activates data field, just the box and arrow, no blood sugar. I've tried the process several times with no luck.  Forerunner 955 and Galaxy S21

    My biggest issue is that the data field worked perfectly in March and April. It was once the Garmin App updated to the ugly new version that it stopped working so I believe it's on Garmin, not Dexcom's fault.

    I am experiencing similar problems. Think the problem is in the Dexcom server. Anyway Garmin should fix this issue before advertising that venue 3 works with Dexcom.
