I've been Android since day 1. But I've had a couple of people near me (in terms of age and geography) have heart issues in the last 2 weeks. So I wanted to get a watch to monitor this; I have a family history of heart problems, and have outlived my dad by 9 years at this point.
Having done a lot of looking it was either Galaxy watch or Apple. Galaxy would mean a new phone (1), and I'm not a fan of Samsung's Android interface (I've been a Moto G user for a long time, and like plain Android), so it was really that that swung it for me... and I really like having just USB-C as everything else in the house is on it... and my macbook pro has it.
Totally with you on the 15, really. Was torn and thinking about getting a 14, but the USB-C and transfer speed plus having a slightly newer SoC meaning there's more chance of getting a decent lifespan out of what is a pretty expensive purchase was the decider.
Also, I was pro-Android back in the day because you could customise it, and I've run Custom Roms for a long time. It's pretty difficult to do that now and have the things I need (banking app mainly), and it really does seem Android is just another google info-hoover now.
This does mean eating serious crow with my friends, who are ALL iPhone users, and have been forever.
(1) I know I could have the hacked version that installs everywhere, but my wife was genuinely concerned it wouldn't work properly, and she's paying for the majority of the watch as she never got my 50th present for me.
