Apple has its own issues. And if I'm not mistaken, you need an iPhone to use an Apple watch, but you can use a Pixel watch with either an Android phone or an iPhone. Of course, Samsung, Garmin, and others also make campatible smart watches, so if I were in the market, I would certainly be comparing alternatives.

that's a feature, not a bug

I don't know about it being either... more of a product choice made by Apple.

According to the US anti-trust complaint, apple made the choice to make it harder for iPhone owners to switch away from an iPhone

Android wear watches only work with android these days

Oh, looks like you are right... that stinks. But at any rate, a non iPhone owner such as myself can't use an Apple Watch no matter how I feel about Apple.

I guess if I need a smartwatch, I'll dust off my old Garmin. Several other recomendations in this discussion I could look into too :).
