Question #2: If I have to get an iPhone, will everything transfer from my current Android?
Question #3: Which Apple Watch would you suggest? What are the differences?
Question #4: If I have to get an iPhone, which one would you suggest?
Question #5: What could all this cost? Is there a price range?
Thanks.

1. There are 2 types of watch, one with cellular (more expensive) and one without. You can buy a data plan for the cellular one. With the non cellular you really need your phone with you when you are outside a WiFi area. At your home or say at the gym where there is WiFi you don’t need the phone in range. Overall it’s a better experience with an iPhone.
2. There is an Android app in the Play Store - “Move to IOS,” - look at it and see what it transfers.
3. Always get the latest. Watch version 6 right now. Then depending on your wrist size get the largest that fits - 40mm or 44mm face size.
4. Again get the latest. Personally I’d look at the iPhone 12 mini purely as it’s a little bit smaller as I don’t do much on the phone. I use my iPad for almost everything at home. If you can change carriers and bring them a new line you’ll usually get $250 off a new phone. We went to Xfinity mobile and got that deal.
5. Apple Watch around $400 - you’ll probably get $40 to $60 off on Black Friday.
We have had iPads since the second version and love them but the Apple Watch is an absolutely fascinating gadget. We bought primarily for the exercise functions but it’s so much more.
