right now Apple Watch needs to pair with an iPhone, which is something they (family members) might not have...
this is why we are excited to introduce...


family setup...

(and I was hoping for stand alone Apple Watch or at least iPad pairing... 😭)

Note: Nothing against family setup, but that first part had me jump with joy and then when I realized it isn't what I hoped for come crash down...

Still might consider some sort of AW (reversed) Family Setup with one of my parents who has a newer iPhone, so I can go phone free. (special use case and certainly in the minority I know)


EDIT: requires AW cellular, Series 4 or later + carrier support
