Q: Questionwhat is the difference between GPS and GPS + Cellular ?(2 answers)
A: AnswerGPS + Cellular - you don't need to have your phone within range of your watch (ex-you go out for a run but don't want to take your phone...can still make/receive calls). I also think you have to pay extra on your wireless plan. GPS - Watch must be within range of phone to see/receive/make call from your watch. No extra fee on your wireless plan.Answered by Elvira

Better than expected!
I LOVE my new apple watch, and I was thrilled my local Best Buy had the exact model/color/size I wanted in stock. Best Buy was super helpful with deciding between different series, and made the whole process super simple! I am staying on track with the step/activity tracking, find it easier to get dressed in the morning since I just look at my wrist to see the weather, and having reminders/alerts pop up is AWESOME. So glad I upgraded finally from my old series 2. The new model is WORTH IT. (Also the battery lasts longer than Apple claims, which was a nice surprise)!

I adore my series 9 Apple Watch!
I adore my series 9 Apple Watch! It’s such a fantastic device, with sleek design and impressive features. I especially love that I can track my activity, track calories burned, and ping my phone whenever I misplaced it. this watch runs fast and charges even faster, so I never have it all for long.
