I have an Apple phone and an Apple Watch. I would never switch from a droid phone to an Apple phone it’s too complicated most people stay with the same type of phone. iPhones can cost upwards of $1000 the iPhone X Is a nice phone

You can always go to apple.com and find out info at their webpage on all products and pricing. If you call (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753), they can answer almost any question about products, including pricing. Good luck. I'm buying the new Watch 6 because with the ECG app I'll be able to keep track of Afib.

There are several inexpensive "How to" books on Amazon that explain the Apple Watch

Androids and Apple products use different operating systems. Apple watches do not work with android systems, they use iOS. You can get a smart watch that will work with your current phone, but if you want an Apple Watch you will need an Apple phone. Hope that helps.

I love my Apple Watch (11 Pro Max) and Apple Watch. However, if you like your Android phone, purchase a Fit Bit. Works well with all watches and does the same thing. It’s a great fitness watch and you can load 300 songs on it as well.

I love my Apple Watch since it does pair with my iPhone. Can answer my phone with it and read texts. Lots of extra apps on it to track my walking, pulse rate. Newer ones are waterproof to a degree if you’re a swimmer... the older models can be much cheaper.

An Insidious Toxicity...
I couldn't agree more, and thanks for taking the time to give Dana1963 an earful. I love your (see: some of us can get this correct) phrase "insidious toxicity", which perfectly captures what I like the least about what social media has degenerated into, and the main reason why I spend less and less time "enjoying" it.
As for your actual question, I've found it best to go all in with either the Apple or Android ecosystems. For various reasons most of my family and I have chosen to sell our online souls to Apple rather than Google, but really they both have their good points and bad. I currently own an Apple 12 Pro, which is the largest (6.1") and most expensive ($1000) iPhone that I've ever owned, but it has the best camera they currently offer which was the feature which sold it to me. On the other end of the spectrum, my son is quite happy with the smallest and least expensive (~$400, IIRC) iPhone, which he uses. In any event, I hope that you're happy with whatever choice you make, and that if it is an Apple watch that is suits whatever requirement lead you to look in that direction in the first place. |

Transitioning to iPhone and Apple Watch
Even though I have lived in The Villages for almost seven years, I have never posted on TOTV, but I do enjoy reading it daily. This is a topic I can help with, so decided to post.
Both Android and iOS have awesome features and hardware, including phones, tablets, and watches; I personally prefer iOS, and have had iPhones, Apple Watches, and iPads for years. If you want an Apple Watch, YOU MUST have an iPhone. Period. Yes, there are cellular versions of the Apple Watch, but you have to have an iPhone to set up Apple Watch, install updates, sync text messages, email, notifications, etc. There are rumors of a stand-alone-Apple Watch in the future, but there is not one available yet. It’s always best to get the most updated version of technology possible as it gets outdated so quickly. Go to Apple’s Website (sorry, I’m not allowed to post links), choose iPhone, then compare models. The new iPhone 12 would be an excellent choice, but the iPhone 11 is still a good choice. You’ll also be able to compare pricing. For the Apple Watch, you are better off to get the Series 6 or Series SE... the Series 3 is getting outdated. If you want all the Health Features, you’ll need the Series 6. If not, the SE is a very good choice. Again, Apple’s Website will allow you to compare features and pricing. Size-wise, most Men get the 44mm version, most Women the 40mm, but plenty of Men with small frames like the 40mm version, and Women with larger wrists or who want a larger Watch Face get the 44mm. Personal preference. To make the switch from Android, it will be complicated but doable. Both Apple iOS and Android OS have apps to help with that transition. Call Apple (800) 692-7753 to get their advice, or talk to your Cellular Carrier to see if they can help you transfer everything from your Android phone. As previously mentioned, The Villages Apple User Group is an excellent resource. Contact them to see if they can recommend someone to help you make the transition. Hope this helps. Good luck... let us know how it goes! |

I am a swimmer, but why would I need an apple watch to make my swim better. I count the laps I swim. 72 is a mile, 90 is a mile and a quarter, and 108 is a mile and a half. What more information do I need while swimming laps??? If the watch could tell me that lightning is about to strike the pool, and I need to get out ASAP, then I will get one.
