If you purchase the GPS + Cellular, you have the option of not activating the cellular feature. If you activate it and then 5 months later, decide you no longer want the cell feature, you can deactivate. Yes the watch will work with GPS only (it’ll still be synced with your iPhone, it just means that your iPhone will need to be within a certain distance from your watch or else you won’t be able to receive calls - think of the watch as an extension of your iPhone). But with the GPS + Cellular, you do not have to have your iPhone nearby in order to access data or receive calls, you can receive texts, calls, emails, etc. without your phone. I had the series 3 GPS only, and just purchased the series 4 GPS + Cellular and I love it!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No you don’t have to hook up cellular for your watch to work. I bought the cellular version and have not turned on the cellular service. You are still able to text and call when you’re on WiFi with your phone nearby. I wanted to test out not turning on cellular before I start paying the $10 a month. Works great without turning on cellular.
