Just Switched From iPhone To Pixel. Still Using Apple Watch

Obviously it doesn't make sense to purchase an Apple Watch if you're not an iPhone user, but in my case, since I had an iPhone and the Watch and then switched to the Pixel, I've just held on to the Apple Watch for now and found that I can still do the following:

I was a huge fan of Sidekick phones, pre-ordered the first Android phone, the HTC Dream/G1, when it debuted. Loved it and suffered through early Android, jumped ship to an iPhone 4 a few years later (I ...
