Kind of a weird question, but I thought I would try and get your opinion on this....with the release of the Note 20 is anyone using their AppleWatch (LTE) version, with a different phone that isn't an iPhone? That way you have the apple watch to enjoy as well as the use of another phone note an iPhone? If so....thoughts, and recommendations?
Got a tip for us?

Galaxy phone and Apple Watch?

Not fully, no. You still need the phone to activate the watch and pair with just to get it going.
Despite the increased independence of WatchOS there’s still a degree of symbiosis between the two devices.
That’s not to say once paired you can’t use it without an iPhone, but there’ll be many features that’ll be limited or non functional.
If you really want to get the best out of both worlds then why not pick up a cheap iPhone 6 or 7 just to pair the watch with and handle the aspects that do need an iPhone.
