What is the difference between unlocked and GPS? null

So there is a cellular version of the watch (unlocked) and a version that does NOT have cellular service(GPS). The naming isn't great. Both have the exact same hardware (Bluetooth, Wifi, NFC, etc) EXCEPT for cellular. If you wanted to make and receive calls and have cellular data when your phone is not around you would want the unlocked (and will have to pay for cell service). For most people GPS is fine. One example might be if you like to go for a jog without your phone, then Unlocked would be your ideal choice.

Unlocked means it supports LTE on any carrier (Verizon, AT&T, etc. it's not "locked" to any one carrier). GPS means it will only communicate with your phone and does not have an LTE radio (no cell data plan capability)

Unlocked pretty much just means that it has cellular capabilities and it's unlocked to be used with any carrier. The gps model only has wifi, and ... gps

GPS = Wifi Only + GPS + BT Unlocked = Wifi + GPS + BT + Unlocked LTE GSM Cell Service (ATT, Tmobile) "You can use the watch as a phone, like talk into the watch and call people"

Not related. Unlocked means you can tie the watch to your carrier regardless who you are with.
