What is the orange phone icon on my Apple Watch* Screen / When I'm using my watch for my CGM info, when do I need my phone close by?

When you see the orange phone icon beside your sensor reading, Direct to Watch mode is temporarily not working. Your smartwatch* isn’t getting information from the sensor. Instead, it's copying from your phone, so keep your phone nearby.
When the phone icon disappears, Direct to Watch mode is working. Your smartwatch is getting information from your sensor, so you don't have to keep your phone near.
