“It says no data plan required, So does that honestly mean I can buy the watch outright and not have to spend any more money to operate it? I don't need to add it to my Verizon plan for it to be fully functional?”

I have the Watch 3 45mm Wifi version. There are no limitations using it with your phone. Everything will work perfectly. Now if you want to use it as a stand alone then you will need the LTE version which is more expensive. For example if you want to leave your phone at home and just take the watch and receive and make calls from the watch you need the LTE version connected to a carrier. If you have the phone always close by you only need the Wifi version.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This bugs me when people answer the question incorrectly. Even the Google team's answer is incorrect, or incomplete at best. I have this watch, the wifi version and you certainly DO NOT need a cellular plan to take full advantage of the functions of the watch, assuming you have your phone with you. It's only if you want to take just the watch, without the phone, and still be able to get calls and messages, that you'd need a plan. If you always have your phone with you, or can wait til the phone is back in range of the watch, then you don't need a cellular plan.

However, keep in mind that some features, like making calls or sending messages, may require a cellular connection. If you want to use these features, you'll need to add a cellular plan to your watch. But for basic features like tracking your fitness, receiving notifications, and using Google Assistant, a data plan is not necessary.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The wifi unit does not connect to cellular, it uses bluetooth and wifi to connect to your phone so calls will be made by phone except when a connected wifi service is available that your phone is set up for
