1. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
an analyte monitoring device configured to measure analyte concentrations of a user and transmit analyte data based on the measured analyte concentrations;
a first mobile communications device comprising a smartwatch; and
a second mobile communications device comprising a smartphone; wherein:
the analyte monitoring device is configured to directly transmit first wireless communication signals comprising the analyte data to the first mobile communications device; the analyte monitoring device is configured to directly transmit second wireless communication signals comprising the analyte data to the second mobile communications device; and
in response to determining that the analyte data has not been received from the analyte monitoring device within a predetermined amount of time, the first mobile communications device is configured to transition from presenting the analyte data on a display of the first mobile communications device to:
(1) presenting an indication on the display of the first mobile communications device that the analyte data is not available, and
(2) directing the user to view the second mobile communications device.
