But there is a catch, when you try to initiate a call from a newly paired Galaxy Watch it shows you an error. The fact that there are two separate Bluetooth signals coming from your Galaxy Watch while being used with iPhone gives a very distinct option of connecting the Galaxy Watch with two devices simultaneously.
This will allow you to make and receive calls through the new phone while still using iPhone for all other apps and notifications. Galaxy Watch has the same calling features when paired with iPhone as it has with any other Android device for that matter. You can easily receive calls, initiate calls and swap between the watch and iPhone with just a click which is an added bonus if compared to the Apple Watch.
Receiving a text in form of SMS or a text from a third-party app like WhatsApp is still available but only as a notification. Tapping on this notification will not give you an option to reply to the received text either as a preset or a complete text. This feature is otherwise available on a Galaxy Watch when paired with an Android device.
The E-mail app is missing from the app list on the watch when paired with an iPhone which will be a down-side for users who mostly rely on e-mails for work. Although push notifications from the e-mail apps on your iPhone can be received on your Galaxy Watch which kind of does half the job because typing an e-mail on your watch is anyway not practical, to be honest. On the other hand, to be able to scroll through your inbox and forwarding an e-mail to a saved contact would have been an added bonus.
Third party messaging applications like WhatsApp, which is partially usable on Galaxy Watch otherwise, is even less useful when your Galaxy Watch is connected to iPhone. The most dependable feature of any wearable is receiving seamless notifications from your phone.
Galaxy Watch supports notification from almost all daily use applications, both native and third-party apps like WhatsApp, Slack, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter etc. The Apple Watch varies a little. The Series 3 and later with a cellular connection need an iPhone 6 or later to work. Each smartwatch operating system is different, and things are changing now Google and Samsung are working together to create Wear. Both are simple to use and navigate, have great fitness tracking systems, mobile payment options, and will run apps available from their individual app stores.
After all, unlike a smartphone, no one really needs a smartwatch. We test smartwatches just like we test smartphones. We use them every day and try out every single feature. We strap them to our wrists no matter how silly they may look and walk around town with them, making calls and exercising to test out the workout features.
We pair them with different phones and try them with different operating systems. We dunk water-resistant smartwatches in water and take outdoorsy watches on hikes. We download tons of apps and discard the lame ones to determine how strong the app ecosystem is, and we go to cafes that accept mobile payments and buy lattes with our wrists.
