Minimed-Mobile Watch App not showing on complication lists....

The full list is "Activity Analog, Activity Digital, Explorer, Mickey Mouse, Motion, Photos, Utility, Astronomy, Breathe, Kaleidoscope, Liquid Metal, Fire and Water, Nike Analog, Portraits, Solar Graph, Timelapse, Toy Story, and Vapor". List is from https://www.medtronic-diabetes.com.au/support/minimed-mobile-app-with-apple-watch

The important thing to note is that for now the only complication that works is “bottom”, not “bottom right” or “bottom left” or anything else.. just “bottom”.

Other thing to be sure of is having the app installed on the watch. Beyond that so long as you are logged in to the app on the phone and leave it running in the background it should be fine.

Only issue so far for me is closing the app on the phone on accident and it needing to reconnect to the pump.

Medtronic watch app only works with a few faces. The "Utility" face is what I use, and my current glucose reading is shown below the time. I changed from "Modular" for the Medtronic app

there is an iOS update released this evening that allows a lot more complications to be used, not sure if it is on ALL of them or just MORE of them, but I now am using Bottom Right on the Modular face, I was also able to use Middle & Top Left as well. In using Bottom Right the number shows in the shield, like it would when you open the app.

No obvious other differences in the app functionality, maybe just maybe the complication on the watch is more stable at showing the glucose number and not having to go into the app a lot of times to see it.

Nothing in the app update that indicates it is iOS 17.4 compatible, as they had sent out a don't update to 17.4 email recently.

It would be nice if there was some place to check to see if/when they expand to the modular face. Most folks spent a lot of $$$ for the newer watches BECAUSE of ability to have 6 complications but then have to sacrifice that in order to have their blood sugars immediately available. I'm very glad it is there but wish we didn't have to choose. The other option, which I have not figured out, would be to have the modular face, but be able to use the left button to immediately bring up the MiniMed watch app screen to see your glucose level almost as quickly.

As best as I can tell the complication choices relate to the amount of room required to fit the complication and basically the ones they offer are the ones that only have "bottom" as the option as it is the widest(?), whereas nothing with bottom left/center/right aren't offered.

Current using "Activity Digital", holding off on looking at a Watch Ultra as I just don't know what options there will be. Something like Middle could be really good to show the trends instead of say weather. Would also be really good if they offered the history(?) screen (swipe right in the MiniMed app) with 1hour or 2 hour history so on the 1 hour history the graph can be a little less extreme on the ups/downs.

Am I the only one somewhat curious as to why there are limitations upon which watch faces allow the medtronic MiniMed complication?

There’s at least one other who is equally ‘curious’🤗
