Or, why hasn't someone made it possible to use an Apple watch on Android?
From what I've come to understand its possible to use the Apple Watch cellular without an iPhone but its a severely gimped experience.

Please do not use code blocks for quotes, it creates long side-scrolling windows.
Can someone fix this? WHERE'S DANG, he's sniffing around all the time. It has to be one line of CSS.
Prepending a line with two spaces is not intended for quoting people. It is intended for posting code in a comment.
If you're quoting someone, stick to the well-established standard of prepending with a > symbol.
Tip: the fall detection feature seems to be turned off by default. I just turned mine on. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208944
Also of note: Fall detection is exclusive to the series 4 or above, which seems questionable. (I would be very surprised if the series 3 and 4 have significantly different accelerometer hardware)

they're trying to ask if there's a chance for false alarm (i think)
The first watchOS version that had this monitoring built-in seemed to be prone to false positives. However, the watch first asks you if you are ok and if you do not acknowledge so in a few seconds, then it dials out.

I had an earlier model, and ditched it after I forgot to put it on one day, and realized I didn't care. Having to have it charge for a bunch each day, and it not really being designed for overnight wear (as I understand it) really hold it back. I bought a Fitbit Charge on impulse at an airport for a couple of hundred bucks, and have worn it every day since. I think I prefer it because the battery seems to last foreve…
> and it not really being designed for overnight wear (as I understand it) really hold it back. I have a first generation Apple Watch. This is one of the things that annoyed me after buying it: you aint sleeping with it on if you want it to running the next morning. I'm hopeful that batteries will get better and better, and eventually we'll be able to sleep with the watch on and have it track sleeping patterns, etc.

The specs for the watch specifically rule out heart attack detection, by the way. > Apple Watch cannot detect heart attacks. If you ever experience chest pain, pressure, tightness, or what you think is a heart attack, call emergency services immediately.
"What we list for legal purposes" and "what the device actually does" might not be the same thing. I imagine saying "my device detects heart attacks" gets the FDA involved and makes everything ten times more expensive...

In TFA, the (quoted) preceding sentences are repeatedly accentuating the severity of the crash and directly implying that the severity is the reason for the replacement. The severity has has nothing to do with the need to replace the helmet, i.e., it does not follow logically.
No, a non sequitur would go something like this: Bob was plantings some flowers. He had to replace his helmet. Not a non sequitur: Bob crashed his motorbike. He had to replace his helmet. It might have been better if they’d written something about how a helmet needs replacing after any impact, sure.
EDIT: Here's an interesting list of non sequiturs, many of which fit the same pattern as the article. I think loeg is probably right after all.

So it watches your bloodpressure or something? I figured it was the jerking-around. Maybe it looked to the watch like she had fallen down.
It watches the heartbeat, probably arrhythmias specifically. You can't monitor blood pressure with just a watch. You need a blood pressure cuff for that.

I think the watch detected his fall (which was a result of the heart attack)

I'd love to get my Mom and Apple Watch but getting her to switch to iPhone is probably a bridge too far. How come no Android watches have this functionality?
