Answer Does the Apple Watch work with Android?
No. None of the 22 Apple Watches in the catalogue pairs with an Android phone: Apple’s compatibility statement for every one names an iPhone, and each is classified iPhone-only. Of the 39 watches we track, 6 work with any Android phone in full (Garmin).
