can i use an apple watch with an iphone that does not have cellular service connected

My daughter wants an apple Watch 3. We are not yet getting her a phone. We have an iPhone 7 that does not have cellular but will have her apple ID and wifi. Can the watch be setup using that account?

Yes.


This assuming that you do not want a Watch that can use cellular. This if GPS+Cellular was purchased.


The Watch operates in conjunction with the paired iPhone, when in range. This to reduce battery usage on the Watch.


Watch and iPhone must be the same Apple ID.


Check directly with Apple to confirm this, when you purchase.
