Just behind you
Hello,

I have been lurking on an Apple Watch for several years. And of course it always come back after a keynote 🙄
The thing is, I'm currently using a Pixel 5 and from what I understand, I cannot really pair an Apple Watch to an Android smartphone.

However I have an iPhone 7 to which I could pair the watch and which could stay plugged and connected to a WiFi network at home.

Now I'm wondering : in that case, what would happen on my watch connected to another WiFi network, say at work ?
Is it what Apple has listed here (minus phone calls/messages because the SIM would be in the Pixel phone) ?
Would I be able to receive mail/SN notifications on the watch or does this require a bluetooth connection ?

Thank you very much
