To wear Apple Watch you can wear it as long as you have money to buy it.
As for whether you have to use an Apple phone, it depends on what you are buying the Apple Watch for.
If you want to use the features that are purely ribbed for many people, you have to use an Apple phone to activate and dock it.
If you're buying it for Versailles, and it doesn't matter if you can use it or not, then having an Apple phone or not is a whole other Versailles show.
Apple Apple WatchSmartwatch can't be used alone without an Apple phone, and must be combined with an Apple phone in order to be used, which is equivalent to providing a certain degree of expandability for IPhones. Of course, it can be used on its own, but the experience will be greatly reduced.
Reasons:
1, the system: Apple's cell phone is using the IOS system, the system itself has a certain degree of closure. It can only match with Apple's own system (Watch OS), both systems are Apple's own system, matching as well as adaptability is very good. It is very smooth to use. Of course, because Watch OS is also closed, it can not be matched with Android. So, if you just take the Apple Watch, you can only look at the time, do a decorative ornament, followed by other parts of the function can not be used.
2. Functionality: Without Apple's phone, there are some data that can't be synchronized. For example, the health class function, IPhone can iwatch the phone about your health data uploaded to the phone, the phone at the same time will also be in the health data to organize, in a very intuitive way for you to escort. At the same time, the phone will also collect your exercise data, which will also be synchronized to the phone. If you don't have a phone, you won't receive notification alerts either, only when connected to an Apple phone.
3. About buying an Iwatch: On your side, if you have an Apple phone, you can consider getting an iwatch, because only Apple's own products can have a good match. If you have a budget, you can also consider buying one, depending on your situation. I'll give you an account of my buying experience. Last year, when it was almost double eleven, I was itching to buy a watch. At that time, I felt very fashionable with the Apple watch, and at that time I already had a steel band watch. In fact, when I bought this watch, I felt that it was just a fresh feeling. At that time, I was still thinking about whether to buy it or not. After a few days of agonizing, I bought it. After I bought it, I was a little excited and happy for a few days, especially because the texture of the watch itself is really good. I bought another film and protective cover for the watch.
But three months later, the problems came. The first is the charging aspect, which is really troublesome. One charge a day is very common, occasionally there will be two days a charge time, but rarely. Second:screen aspect, I bought the aluminum alloy version, the watch mirror is not wear-resistant. Once I didn't bring the film with me for a day, there are several scratches on the surface of the watch, especially affecting the view. The film is also changed once every two weeks, and often the edges will get up, and then there is dust, which is also not good. Anyway, after that I felt it was not as good as a steel band watch, after all, there are fewer things to do, and you don't have to deliberately take care of it. After that, I went out of my watch.
I hope it can help you. Pure hand-typed, if you like can pay attention to it oh!
Thank you for inviting me to answer, and congratulations on entering the smartwatch world, which can be answered roughly from the following perspectives:
First, the purpose of buying iwatch
I believe that the users who chose to buy the iwatch are still looking forward to the watch, that is, in addition to the daily time, step counting and Heart rate and other basic content, but also hope that a more systematic understanding of their daily exercise, physical condition, but also can play music, set note, including control of smart home and so on.
If you don't have one, then you can answer: you can buy any watch you want, and it doesn't matter if you use an Apple phone or not.
If you do, then it's better to use an Apple phone, or else you won't be able to fully utilize many of the features above.
Second, the way with iwatch
The emergence of smartwatches such as iwatch has revolutionized the scope of the public's perception of watches. The high profile of traditional mechanical watches is also no longer the main attraction. More and more young people prefer the multifunctional use of smartwatches.
If you buy an iwatch as a smartwatch to use, you still have to use an Apple phone, or else many of its functions may not be able to play out.
If you're buying iwatch as a regular electronic watch, it's not necessary to use an Apple phone.
Other technical questions have already been answered, so you can go to other answers to learn about them.
Now many domestic electronic devices, have a certain scale and personal smooth use of no problem, buy iWatch if not to use to pretend to be and what is the point, as pretend to pretend to pretend to install a full set, with an iPhone is not beautiful? Since you do not take an iPhone with you, do you want iWatch to match 8848?
Yes, first of all, the Apple Watch activation and pairing operations are done using an iPhone, so if you're a pure Android user, then even the normal activation of the watch can't be completed.
But when the watch is activated normally, it can be used alone, and the eSIM-enabled version can even make phone calls alone, but more control is still dependent on the phone, so at this stage the Apple Watch is more like an accessory and expansion of the iPhone, and once it leaves the phone, a lot of functions will be limited.
Correction, Apple does not have iwatch, it is called apple watch. It can only be used when paired with an iPhone! Customized dials and other operations need to be used in conjunction with the iphone, great iphone, AW is really not much use! In addition, AW's battery life is almost the same as a cell phone, basically a day a charge, of course, if you WeChat phone prompts not much information, you can barely 2 days or so
iwatch is a product in the Apple ecosystem, limited to the ios system, can only be used with Apple devices.
It doesn't need to be, and many people are already using the iWatch on its own, ditching their Apple phones. Of course, I'm afraid you can't use the watch like a cell phone - after all, it's just a tiny electronic watch.
iWatch independent use, very convenientiWatch independent use, the best experience, of course, is to open the e-sim card, in this case can be detached from the phone to see the normal information, call. As for what to return to WeChat, naturally it does not matter.
I've seen young people wearing Apple's wireless headphones with their watches in many office buildings. The advantage of this is that you don't have to worry about forgetting your cell phone and missing important calls and messages. What's even better is that iWatch is still very powerful for voice-to-text conversion. When returning to WeChat, it's a little easier to use than a cell phone.
iWatch standalone use, very powerI also have a piece of iWatch watch, also once tried to use it independently, and finally found that it is particularly power-consuming, and need to be charged once a day, I gave up. First of all, my business is not much, with a watch is not too necessary. Secondly, the phone is my important work carrier, a lot of work needs to be handled on the phone, so the phone will not forget to bring.
Third, the e-sim card has a separate charge, and the city's mobile company has not yet opened this service, which requires the use of Unicom, and I have canceled my Unicom phone card.
From that point of view, it's up to you whether you want to use it independently or not, depending on whether it's too much of a hassle to charge or not.
iWatch independent use, there is a point most absolute
This point is to listen to music, this does not need to open the additional features, just need to download the music beforehand, and then you can take the headphones, while walking, running, while listening to their favorite music.
The way I used it was to open a trial for Apple Music, download some music for free, and then sync it to my iWatch, which is the equivalent of downloading some offline music on my iWatch. I'm not sure if this is still possible now, and I haven't tried to see if third-party apps like QQ Music and NetEase Music support this. You can try it.
In short, there are a lot of scenarios where iWatch can be used independently, it depends on how you use it. In the end, it is just a wearable device.
Yes, it works very well, and after wearing it for more than a year it's worth every penny
