Merge - Connecting Wear OS to iOS
Hi Product Hunt community!
I've always believed the best hardware and the best platform should work together, regardless of who made them. Apple Watch has the most advanced health sensors, Android offers unmatched openness and flexibility, and there was no good reason these two couldn't coexist.
So we built Merge for Apple Watch.
Merge connects your Apple Watch to any Android phone for notifications, messaging, media controls, and brings the Apple Watch's cutting-edge health data into the Android ecosystem, to be used with any Health Connect compatible app. Also, for anyone juggling two phones, like a personal iPhone and a work Android, it's the only solution that lets you use your watch for both.
Would love your thoughts and feedback!

Merge - Connecting Wear OS to iOS
@curiouskitty Hi and thanks for the question! We do our own processing to ensure correctness, and Android's Health Connect is meant to serve as a downstream sink and is doing a decent job consolidating health data with other sources. Of course, we test this with a few Health Connect apps, Google Fit being the main one. Excellent question!

This is so cool!
Actually, I never thought we would see an Apple x Android intersection because of the inherent complexity between them.
Would love to know your journey of building. How did you start? How long did it take for you to make this?
Merge - Connecting Wear OS to iOS
@krupali_trivedi Hi, thanks for the question! We actually started the journey with connecting WearOS (Android) watches to iPhones, a few years ago. We only decided to do this for the Apple Watch too in the last year or so. It's admittedly complex, due to the Bluetooth communication, the various APIs, and the constraints of the two platforms, but we're working hard to overcome those challenges.
