If it ends up compatible with project fi, their extra data-only device comes free (at $10/GB like the rest of the plan). Might make this the first smart watch I've found appealing.



The problem with that is that it would have to be completely decoupled from your phone since Project Fi only supports the Pixel and Apple Watch only supports iOS.

If you don't want the watch to interact with your phone at all, then you would be fine. But you'd presumably be losing quite a bit of functionality by doing so.


Project Fi works fine with Apple iOS Devices. You need a Pixel/Nexus device to activate.

I've got several Apple devices on extra Project Fi SIM cards (including an iPhone). All work fine. I've also tested on the primary SIM succesfully.



Irony is that while Fi is the only plan where this makes sense, it's also the only plan you can't use with an iPhone.


Then again if you're using enough data to matter, you're better off paying the upfront cost for a plan that isn't $10/GB.
