Under normal circumstances, I would be going to a store to learn more, but that always takes forever and I am avoiding long, indoor contact with people I do not know. I am not at all tech savvy — as you will see by the following questions.
Question #1: I now have an Android, but if I get an Apple Watch, will I have to get an iPhone to work with it? NO, except as just a watch.
Question #2: If I have to get an iPhone, will everything transfer from my current Android? Sort of, Maybe. Nothing will transfer automatically. You may need some help but your email should transfer over. You will have to install the Apple versions of your apps (if there is one) or install similar apps. Subscriptions my be a problem, you may have to cancel an Android app subscription and get a new one. This kind of question is best to ask at the store. The Apple store can help to do these transfers.
Question #3: Which Apple Watch would you suggest? What are the differences?
Current (Model 6), aluminum case. 45mm version is larger and easier to read.
Case material is different, aluminum is cheapest. Features are the same. The current version has an always-on display so that it is immediately visible. The current watch tracks heartbeat, blood oxygen levels, EKG. Notifies of an unusual heartbeat. If you get the LTE model you can make a 911 call on your watch even if you don't have your phone with you. It tracks how well you sleep.
Question #4: If I have to get an iPhone, which one would you suggest?
Might as well get the latest, iPhone 12. Bigger ones are easier to read. All have outstanding cameras though there are some differences between them. Not sure if the small, iPhone Mini has all the features that the other models do.
Question #5: What could all this cost? Is there a price range?
Right now the Apple store is undergoing a change so I can't look up prices. But off the top of my head watch is $400 (for least expensive Model 6), iPhone $600 - $1400 depending on iPhone size and memory. But check the prices for yourself to be sure.
Thanks.
