All Apple Watches must pair with an iPhone.


A GPS only Apple Watch can do Everything a cellular model can do as long as the iPhone is nearby.


A short list would be:

  • Make receive phone calls
  • send and receive texts messages
  • deliver all alarms, alerts, notifications to your wrist
  • Monitor your heart rate
  • track your exercise, whether light or heavy
  • give you the weather on your wrist
  • Find your friends
  • set timers
  • remote control for music, podcasts, etc... playing on your iPhone
  • Play music, podcasts, audiobooks stored on your Apple Watch
  • create reminders
  • use your Apple Watch for Apple Pay
  • read your email
  • and many many more features that you may find more interesting...
