If you own an iPhone, the Apple Watch is indisputably the best smartwatch for you. It's stylish, boasts excellent build quality, excels as both a fitness tracker and smartwatch, and seamlessly integrates with your iPhone. The Apple Watch Series 10 is no longer the most current model after the Series 11 was released on September 19. The Series 11 improvements include a longer battery life, more scratch resistant watch face, and 5G support on the cellular models. Performance wise the two watches are pretty much identical. An Apple Watch Series 11 with the same specs currently costs $520. It's up to you to decide whether that $160 upcharge is worth it.
Can you use an Apple Watch with Android phones?
Although it's technically possible to use an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we wouldn't recommend it. Apple made it so that a lot of the functionality of the Apple Watch requires a smartphone with an iOS operating system. There are some workarounds to implement some of the features, but for the average person, the hassle isn't worth it. If you're absolutely intent on getting an Apple Watch, then getting an iPhone first would be the best option.
