Apple Watch GPS

Hi! I'd like to know whether it is possible to make wi-fi calls with an Apple Watch GPS, using my iPhone in the hotspot mode. Thanks!

Can GPS only apple watch connect to WiFi? I have been looking into getting an Apple Watch, so I do not need to bring my phone everywhere with me. My question is if I get a GPS only one (no cellular), can I connect to nearby wifi connections and use the watch to send texts, and other things without my phone nearby? Thank you so much!

Is Wifi calling on GPS ONLY (no cellular) model Apple Watch 7 possible? Is it possible for a non cellular model of the Apple Watch 7 to make calls on wifi WITHOUT the iPhone being present or on? Articles on the apple website suggest that it is, but it is not clear, I have searched and haven’t managed to find a definitive answer to this questions, even apple support have given an unclear answer, and in fairness have conceded that the information is not clear. The scenario I would need is that if you have left home without your phone, but the watch is logged in with the same Apple ID, you can receive and make calls if connected to wifi. please help!

Thank you very much for your help! Unfortunately I still do not understand whether a GPS+Cellular Apple Watch device only can make calls or a GPS device can make wi-fi calls.
