Apple Watch GPS+cellular

If I was to purchase a Series 4 Apple Watch on O2. Would I need to buy a cellular plan for it to work ? Or would the other functions still work except when I’m away from my iphone?

A GPS only Apple Watch can Exactly what you said.


If your Apple Watch is near your iPhone, it does everything a cellular model does. Away from the paired iPhone, and its ability to communicate with the internet is limited to WiFi if available or no Internet access at all. Once you get back near your iPhone, full functionality is restored.
