I am a proud owner of a Samsung S4 and a Iphone 6+ on ios 8.1.1 (Jailbroken). I was thinking of buying an apple watch, however after some research not only does the Apple Watch not work with ios 8.1.1 but it also does not work with anything NOT apple.

Some might ask, why don't you just update your iphone to the latest firmware? Well the reason for it is because if i update i would lose my jailbreak and as a direct result i would lose one of my more crucial application: F.lux (dims the iphone screen and makes it easier on the eyes in the dark).

I understand Apple not wanting the Apple watch to not work with anything non-apple, but they should at least have made it possible to pair the Apple Watch to Iphone/Ipod touch's with older firmware, what if the user who bought the apple watch had a old iphone 3gs? or perhaps only had a ipod touch 2gen (highest firmware being 4.2.1).

I love the apple watch, however it has far too many shortcomings, added with the fact that i can't use it with my beloved iphone 6+ (so sad) its a deal breaker for me
