An Apple Watch is still the best choice for iPhone owners. It has a polished design with seamless connection that makes connecting an Apple Watch to an iPhone super easy.

How to Use Apple Watch with Android (It's Expensive)
An Apple Watch is an excellent choice for iPhone users. But what if you own a Samsung, OnePlus or Google device? You might be wondering if Apple Watch works with Android or if there is a way to pair Apple Watch with Android phones. Keep reading to find all your answers!
The short answer is no, you cannot pair an Apple Watch with an Android smartphone. Since its inception, Apple Watches have only worked with iPhones, and this is unlikely to change. To get started with an Apple Watch, you need an iPhone with the Watch app. At the moment, there is no Apple Watch app option for Android, although both the Apple Watch and the smartphone support Bluetooth connectivity. There is no direct way to pair an Apple Watch with Android.
That said, if you have an iPhone, there is a workaround for using the Apple Watch with Android smartphones. You can use the three devices at the same time. Theoretically, you can use your Apple Watch to track your daily activity without having your iPhone nearby. If you have a Cellular/LTE Apple Watch, you can also use standalone apps on your smartwatch.
