I have an iPhone and recently purchased a Garmin smartwatch. It pairs with everything on an Android phone and some things on an iPhone. I can't make/receive calls on my watch or read emails. I do get text notifications and other notices from my iPhone. It also indicates, by vibrating, who is calling when the phone rings and lists the name and phone number. It does pair with the Apple health app. I purchased the Garmin because, at the time of purchase, it did more things than the Apple watch and it included a golf function. The new Apple watch now does the few things that were missing when I made my purchase (it still doesn't have the golf function). I purchased the Garmin Vivoactive 4s and needed to download and print the entire manual in order to use my watch to its fullest capabilities.
