Q3. If Q2 answer is a phone, how old is the phone?

Q4. What is your budget. Normally, nothing with an Apple logo on it will be cheap.

1: I specifically want some of the fitness things that are on there. I know I can get that elsewhere but an Apple Watch has been recommended for its ability to better monitor.

While I sometimes look at the internet on my phone, it is only to read. I never use my phone to do anything money-related. When I do that, I have to be in my house, plugged in to my laptop. I just do not like the idea of handling money on something I can lose. I know a lot of people think that is archaic of me. I can check a stock price on my phone but I would never make a stock-move on my phone. I do not access my own accounts via phone.

2 and 3: It is an Android phone. Years ago, I started with that kind and just never switched, even when replacing. It is a Samsung - about 4 years old. (It is not the one that was setting people's pants on fire though.)

I wish I had switched to an iPhone last time but I did not. I do not live on my phone. I mainly talk and text and take pictures, read a little internet and my Kindle downloads, if I do not have my kindle with me. When I am on TOTV, I am on either my iPad or my laptop which is a Surface Pro. I prefer the iPad.

4. I can make the switch to an iPhone if necessary to get the Apple watch. But I tend not to make tech a spending priority.

I have been tempted by the big-sized iPhones I see, but, although this might sound silly, my Android fits perfectly in a side-zip pocket of my purse.

Thank you for trying to help.
