Glucose levels on the Fenix 7?

Hey, guys, so both Samsung and Apple are rumored to introduce glucose reading on their watches. Do you think it’s coming to Garmin as well with Fenix 7?

Well, I think it's very likely that *flips coin* YES it is coming with the *flips second coin 3 times* Fenix 9.

Just buy a apple or a samsung. No need for all that features from the others. Good GPS and good results are enough

And the F7 must be able to be used as a clinical thermometer (measurement better under the armpit than rectal).

That's your opinion. Fenix is my 6th GPS watch so I can compare it to other watches I used previously. As a GPS watch it is mediocre.

Glucose I don't think so, but it would be nice to see ECG and blood pressure and not only in F7 - samsung just announced adding it to existing GWA2, do why not F6 Pro?

That’s be nice but Garmin is known to keep new features reserved for the new generation only even if they are portable through software.

In the recent Jan Frodeno Vs Lionel Sanders Tri Battle Royale we could see measurements of power, HR, rpm AND glucose level. So I think this is a great functionality in a sports watch. I don't care if Samsung or Apple have it.

Yes, Jan Frodeno had a biosensor on the back of his upper arm like this one

But it's not so easy because the sensor has a filament that penetrates the skin. And the sensor should be changed at least all 14 days.

Any update on Garmin’s A/Vfib on device reading study? It was supposed to be over in July.

In the GDVC 2021 on yesterday, the DEXCOM CGM was announced and is now available also for F6 and some other watches.

But currently it seems to be limited to US citizens only.
