I have just ordered an apple watch after visiting my local Apple Store and being advised by the sales person that I didn't't need an iPhone to use the basic functions of the watch. I've carried out a bit more research and everything that I have read seems to contadict this. Can anyone confirm what I have been told is correct.
Apple Watch
No. It requires an iPhone 5 or higher. If you don't own and iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 plus, the watch is useless. You can't even set it up to use just to tell the time.
The information you have been given is completely incorrect, as other posters have pointed out. You need at least a iPhone 5 or higher running the latest IOS software to use the Apple Watch. I would cancel that order and take it up with the Apple store that told you this before you waste your money on something you will be unable to use.
You may want to report that person that told you that lie to the store manager so that he is able to correct the situation. Having a sales person giving out that kind of erroneous information is really bad situation.
Unfortunately you do need one of the following iPhones (5, 5s, 5c, 6, 6 plus). When you start the Apple Watch it will prompt you to link with your iPhone.
Unfortunately, you require an iPhone 5 or later to setup your Apple Watch. Whoever told you this information was incorrect.
Can I use an apple watch without owning an iphone
