Apple watch for my father (alien.top)

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?

I would suggest a Garmin Vivosmart band for him, or a life alert system. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/782585

You are not going to get blood pressure from a watch, but you can buy him a blood pressure cuff that reports to you.

What is it you need most? Would a daily phone call be the better option? I know a few people who call their parent every day to check in.
