Watch Ultra

If you purchase the Apple Watch Ultra do you have to hook it up to a cellular carrier? I love the watch but have no interest in hooking it to my cellular plan. That’s what my phone is for.

No you don't have to activate a cellular plan,the watch will function as if it is a GPS only model.

Apple Watch different carrier I am unable to add any additonal lines on my phone carrier. I really would love to get an Apple Watch. Can I just buy one from Best Buy with cellular option instead? Or does it have to be from my carrier. I hope this is not confusing. I would like to purchase an apple watch unlocked so I can use it with my iphone.
