Hi all,

I'd like to buy an apple watch for my father, for xmas.
He'd use just to watch the hour (no good at all with tech)
I'd use it to control his O2, heart rythm, blood pressure, localize him with GPS, or notified if some crash is detected (he's 77)

He has an android, I have a iphone, I was thinking on series 6 GPS+Cellular, is it ok to sync with my iphone? I read it can't sync with android.

Do you guys has some suggestion on this?

If you set it up with your iPhone it disables a lot of the health monitoring features

Hi, thanks for the repply..
what do you mean, for the age or for the distance from the phone?
I don't get it what you mean!

If it's paired to your iPhone with family setup, you can't use things like blood oxygen, ECG, sleep tracking, etc.
Unless they changed something. Probably someone else knows better than me.
