After my girlfriend demonstrated how her Apple blah blah blah watch can start, lock, and unlock her Bronco, I was impressed and interested in getting the same feature.

So I went out and bought the new Samsung Galaxy 6 watch but was disappointed that there was no app available for my Android phone and wondered why Ford was not supporting android watches.

I have downloaded Alexa app on my watch which I already set up at home to start my truck which work but kinda of a hassle but kinda wish I had the FordPass app would be even more convenient.

WTF? Ford quit hating on us androids.

Any body run into this same first world problem :)

Indeed @Vick! , 'tis a 1st world problem for us Samsung Watch folks. I can one up you though, nothing to do with our trucks, but Samsung has/is promising Blood Pressure for quite some time but alas, still not in the US unless you hack your OS.
As far as the truck, you can use IFTT but I find it to be a hassle. Alexa on watch is easier.
Note, I use several different IOT Apps at present. Some with a watch companion App, others without. ONE UI improvements are slowly bringing more Android Apps to the watch but then the issue becomes processing power and storage issues.
Finally, I am still waiting for several Apps to show up on AA i.e. my radar detector.
In conclusion, yes, lots of first word problems :)
