Unfortunately, Apple Watches are not compatible with Android devices. As Apple Watches only work with Apple devices, there is no way to send messages to Android devices. Your best option is to set up a shared messaging platform, such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, that both you and your Android contact can use to communicate. Once set up, you will be able to send messages to your Android contact from your Apple Watch.
