Does the Apple Watch Series 12 work with Android phones?

No. It requires an iPhone to set up and use, and it cannot pair with Android devices.

Do I need a carrier plan for the cellular model?

Yes, if you want calls and data without your iPhone nearby. The watch needs an eSIM plan from a supported carrier, which is billed monthly.

About a day of normal use, less with long workouts or heavy cellular use. Most owners charge it overnight or during a shower.

It suits most wrists, including smaller ones. The larger case size gives a bigger screen but weighs more, so try both if you can.

The watch with its strap and a magnetic charging cable. A power adapter is not included.

It tracks sleep only when worn overnight. Owners who charge at night miss sleep data and often switch to charging in the morning instead.
