Maybe Tesla should provide a list of phones they have tested the system with to ensure an experience as intended.
Not saying people can't use any phone, just give guidance for anyone as to which devices they do test the feature with.
I expect some phones compromise on the Bluetooth antenna to give metal backs, or certain cosmetic qualities.

Look up "Watch app for Tesla"Is there an Apple Watch option? And if so wouldn’t it likely rely on the Tesla phone app being operational anyway? I’ve had more incidents recently of the phone key (I have an iPhone 12 Pro) either not working at all or taking what seems like ages (in reality it’s 30-60 seconds) to be recognised. So I try several times to open the door with no success. It’s mildly annoying. Eventually works but not as slick as it should be or I am used to. Not sure why it’s changed. I would add that I always keep the key card in my wallet as a contingency (except when I forget to take my wallet with me) and when unplugging charge cables I tend to leave the driver door open.
I just bought it today and it's actually quite good, can have a whole set of complications on a face with all the Tesla options, unlock Frunk and so on.
And it unlocks the car with just the watch, you will need an internet connection though, so LTE watch or your iphone close by... (locked in the car?
)This is a year old now but pretty good explanation

+1 for the watch app, I mostly use to to unlock the charge cable as I'm on the way to the car because it'll queue commands to send once it wakes the car so you just tap the button and get on with whatever you were doing.
I'm a bit paranoid about getting locked out of the Tesla for some reason, I tend to carry the keycard, wear a ring, have my phone set up as a key and have the watch app.
I can't imagine why I'm like that because Tesla are legendary for their high quality robust software....

Watch I think just uses the API. If you have a cellular watch that can work away from the car, or connected to your home wifi. Alternatively it will need your phone but only for a network connection - it doesn’t talk to the tesla app on the phone

Thanks all. I thought for a moment that there was an official Tesla watch app. I have the Stats one, it’s good, can pretty much control most functions including unlocking the car.
Even without adding your phone to work with Phone as Key, you can still use the app to manually unlock and drive the car, assuming both the phone and car have a cellular signal.
You can start the car remotely from the app?
so worst case of your car doesn’t recognise your phone as a key and you don’t have any cards, you could log into the app and remote start it to drive off? Thinking also in case the wife gets into the same spot I could do it remotely for her?
does that let someone drive until they get out?
