Q: QuestionWhat's the difference between GPS and GPS+Cellular?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThe Cellular allows you to add it to your cell plan. For an extra fee, like 10.95 a month or similar, you can use your Apple Watch as a phone when you are not near your iPhone. For example, you could go out for a run and still use your watch as a phone. Of course this only works if you add it to your cell plan. My sister-in-law has the cellular version and plan but rarely uses it. Some parents want the ability to call their kids but don't want them to have all the cell phone functionality, so a cellular enabled Apple Watch is a great option.Answered by WesleyH

Apple Watch pros/cons as well as Garmin comparison
I just got the Apple Watch and I like using it as a secondary cellular device: being able to see/feel/hear messages and phone calls come in while your phone is in your pocket or your phone is left at home. I also like that you can talk and send messages on the Apple Watch. The battery life is good when you use it for these things but when you use your Apple Watch for workout purposes or directions on maps, it depletes the battery relatively quick and you have to charge it again mid-day/evening. If you are an outdoors person and use your watch for hikes, workouts, directions, retracing your steps, etc and don’t care about being able to send messages back on your watch. I would recommend the Garmin. You can get a notification of a call or message but you can’t send anything back. You also have to have your phone pretty close to you for the phone and watch to connect. But The battery life on the Garmin is awesome. And last days to weeks. I think the max battery life I’ve had on my Apple Watch has been half a day to a day when I workout and maybe a day and a half to two days when I just use it for messages/phones calls. Hoping they can compete with the Garmin for battery life. Overall I like the watch up until probably a new watch comes out and Apple bugs my current one to make me buy a new one.

Best Apple Smartwatch to date!
My new favorite Apple smart watch replacing my model 6-version. Great new features and large screen face with very sharp images and characters. Well worth the investment!

Sanding user First time Apple Watch use
Been a Samsung user 15 years. Started exploring and getting interest in using Apple products part of which watch 9 is my first Apple Watch and on the positive side, the watch is pretty light weight (comparing with my Qexplorist, Samsung Watch 5) and nice look. On the negative side observed that Samsung has the better sleep track, steps and calories tracker.
