The watch can be used completely standalone.

Even fairly notable tech industry folks like Linus from LMG use it even though he’s a Samsung phone user.

The only part you need the phone for is initial setup.

Yes, and not everyone has an iPhone for the first step. There are lots of iPhone users, but lets not pretend Android users are an insignificant userbase.

where did I imply that they were insignificant? I specifically mentioned a well known android user. I used to be a dyed in the wool android user myself and a day one adopter of the Moto 360.

Like, yeah, it’s not ideal but you just ask a friend with an iPhone to help out. Unless you’re in an android only circle of course.

Either way, not ideal, but not as dire as the people above make it out to be either
