Apple Watch w/out cellular

My grandson would like an Apple Watch (he has an iPhone) but his mother doesn’t want to add another cellular device to her provider. The grandson wants the time and sports timing ability as he runs. Can I buy any watch and simply not activate the cellular connectivity?

Yes it will act as a GPS model.

When data is needed it will use the iPhone's when close to it or wifi when away from it.


It will do what you want it to do.
