It seems as accurate as the G6 was. It may depend on where you put the sensor. I wear it on my leg about a hands width above my knee.  They want you to wear it on the back of your arm but I ripped 2 of them off that way.

Not being able to stop the sensor a bit early or even very early. If results are not accurate would be a real game changer for me. I do hope they get this. Problem solved very soon as I was hoping to get the G7 as soon as Tandem makes it compatible with my pump. I frequently stop my sensor anywhere from a few hours to a day early to avoid the inconvenience of having to change it during meetings, social events, travel days. I also understand that the option where you can calibrate is buried a bit deep in the app, and for some reason this is something I tend to need to do more often than I would like due to in accurate sensor results.
