Will The watch eventually pair with other Mac products like the iPad?

What are the chances Apple will eventually let people pair the watch with the iPad or even a Mac?

So that I can access my health data and watch settings on my iPad. It was also simplify my set up to iPad and watch.

It would be nice to see watch unlock on the iPad too.

It will likely become a standalone device, much like how the phone is now untethered from the Mac.

I think apple wants to make iPhone as the centre of their communication / services hub. Everything else seems to be hanging off of the iPhone in the whole ecosystem.

Honestly, not a bad idea. I would love to be able to pick up my iPad and see health data as well as my Activity app and see what I’ve done for the day.

I could see the Health app coming to iPad, and even macOS, but the Watch app is already a separate app. Bringing the Health app wouldn't automatically mean that device would pair with Apple Watch.
