If your I Phone is with you you will get the same texts and calls on your Series 4 GPS watch as on your phone (iphone 6 or greater is required). The more expensive Series 4 GPS plus cellular model, distinguished by a red ring on the watch knob, allows you to recieve calls and texts without having your phone with you—like if you are going on a run and don’t want to bring your phone phone along. Of course, you pay a monthly fee for this convenience.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can get iMessages on your watch without cellular service, as long as your watch is within range of your phone. But you won't get SMS messages. In other words, blue bubble yes, green bubble no.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do not have the cellular Apple Watch. If you have the watch paired with your iPhone and within range, you can share many things to your watch: text messages, driving instructions, weather warnings, email, etc.
