Do Android smartwatches work with iPhones?

Technically some do via Wear OS companion apps, but the experience is severely limited. No reply to messages, no app installs from phone, and no deep integration. Android watches are designed for Android phones.

Is Samsung Galaxy Watch worth it with a non-Samsung phone?

Yes, but you lose some features. Body composition, ECG in some regions, and advanced gesture controls require a Samsung phone. Core features like fitness tracking, notifications, and Google apps work with any Android phone.
