I have a family member who would like to get an Apple Watch to help monitor heart rate and keep track of exercise, only thing is he has an android. Is he able to connect with his phone with the health and exercise apps? Or is the watch not compatible with non-iPhone phones?
An Apple Watch requires the owner to have an iPhone to pair to. It will not pair and function with an Android device.

If someone in the family has an iPhone you could use Family setup:
Set up an Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support
However, note the limitations in the 'Availability of features and apps' section of that link. And see the 'What you need' section in that same link.
