I wouldn't call the iPhone stupid, it's supposed to be a SMART watch. Why should it only work on Samsung- I don't want a Samsung PHONE, I want a Samsung WATCH.
You don't need a samsung phone. It's compatible with any android phone. But not iPhone. But I don't think thats a big problem. Apple Watches intigrate much better in the Apple ecosystem anyway.
Dude, you bought a phone that only works with its own stuff, and then you're surprised that a smartwatch that works with other phones doesn't work with your phone? The watch is smart and works with any Android phone, but like always, the iPhone only works with Apple stuff.
