If you don't own an iPhone, the Apple Watch probably isn't for you. Even if you use another household member's iPhone to set the device up, this still isn't ideal since the Watch is designed to work with your own personal Apple ID and device. You'll want to save your own health data to your own account, for example.


The Apple Watch cannot be setup on any device other than the iPhone.
