Existing smart watches that claim to do this are basically garbage. Just use a random number generator instead.

Apple and Samsung are supposedly working on it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidphelan/2025/01/26/samsung-... But it seems to be hard and from what I have seen the new Galaxy Watch 8 won't have this feature.

Smartphones are notorious for not delivering- heck, my fitbit won't even give me an actual wrist temp value.

Theres optical ones that can be built in a lab and require profiling to an individual. The most accurate ones are still invasive- just not consumable fungus extract based. Maybe some biomedical company makes a reference design.

Great resources. It seems we'll see BP monitoring integrated in a mainstream base smartwatch before we'll get optical glucose monitoring.
