I have multiple grills paired to my app. Which will show on my Apple Watch?

The grill displayed on the watch is the same grill that is displayed on the iPhone.

Will an app be available for other smart watches?

The watch app is only available for Apple Watch. There are no plans at this time to provide a watch app for any other smart watches.

Are there any recommended settings?

While your Apple Watch's default settings will work great for the Traeger Apple Watch App, we do recommend updating your Wake Screen settings to accommodate the app's load time. Apple's default wake 'ON TAP' setting is 15 seconds. Updating that to 70 seconds will allow more leeway after the app's loading time.

1. Open watch app on phone
2. Select General
3. Select Wake Screen
4. Select Wake for 70 Seconds
