The Apple Watch only pairs to an iPhone.


Current Apple Watch models need an iPhone XS, XR, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or a recent SE


The other option is the Apple Watch Family Plan, assuming you have someone to act as your parent and you trust them not to mess with you, nor steal your personal information.

Some limitations: Cannot receive SMS/MMS messages, as that depends on a fully paired iPhone. Messaging is pretty much limited to Apple’s Messages, unless the messaging service provides an Apple Watch app. Alarms, alerts, notifications on the iPhone are not sent to the Apple Watch. Apple Pay via a credit card is not available. Also not available: Medications, respiratory rate, irregular heart rhythm notifications, ECG, AFib History, Cycle Tracking, Sleep, Wrist Temperature, Blood Oxygen, Walking Steadiness, Audiobooks, Camera Remote, News, Shortcuts, and the double tap gesture.
