⁠@@abcdoooabcd thx man

Very thorough. I’m 75 and you made this painless. Thank you

I also would like a gardener activity, 😊

I don't know any technical details about distance but they need to maintain a bluetooth connection. Without cellular you can't make calls or send messages without your phone nearby and connected. You couldn't stream music (you could have some music downloaded onto your watch, however), search the web, etc. On the S9 the Siri offers some limited utility without a cell phone, but mostly limited to things like launching applications. I've seen examples in which a noncellular S9 couldn't use Siri to do things like simple math calculations. That said, I'm not sure there's anything a cellular watch can do that a non-cellular watch can't if the latter is paired with a nearby iphone. They really are kind of meant to work together as a complimentary team. Unless you want to use cell services in situations where you don't want to carry a phone (like maybe swimming, or running) I don't see a lot of downside to a gps only phone. OTOH, the additional $100 would allow you to get a cell plan for the watch if you felt it would be beneficial in the future. They'll run $5 to $10 / month and aren't available from a lot of MVNOs. I'm using USMobile and as of yet they don't offer plans for watches.

@@bradleyanderson247 Thank you !!! That is very helpful. I am seriously considering what you mentioned i.e. buying the cellular capable watch and then not adding the watch to my current mobile phone account. If after several months of use, I will know if I want/need to add the watch to my existing plan.

@@SusanMJB45 I'm an old guy who never really thought I'd use a watch much. My better half wanted me to have one to track activity and gave me an S6. I grew to like it more and more and view it as pretty essential. It makes my phone so much more useful. I can send a quick text to my wife using Siri and the watch without pulling out my phone. And since we ski, pulling out the phone is often a PITA. For a variety of reasons I decided to upgrade to an S9 and opted for the cellular version. If USMobile offers a plan I'll probably sign up, they say they're working on it. If not I wasted some inflated value credit card points. Cellular is certainly not essential unless you need to not carry a phone.

Only if the watch you want doesn’t have a cell facility!

Apple watch does not work without an iPhone to link it to.

It works periodically. It has to be in standby or dimmed or whatever first for it to work for me

@@zowlgdwhat about precision finding is it working on yours ?

@@namanshah55 no it doesn’t work

IDK if this has anything to do with it but I ordered my watch through the Apple Store and had the option on my phone to upgrade to IOS 17. I had to find it under settings software upgrades.

Yes, I also think you may need IOS 17 to fix this. The phone tells you you need iPhone 8 + IOS 16 or later but that's incorrect... the watch suggests IOS 17 - when you check through one of those info buttons.. super confusing. But yea, try upgrading then try again, it worked with an iPhone 11. Mine required a software update to watchOS 10.0.2 immediately after scanning the screen..so probably why the IOS upgrade was necessary in the first place

if you take it off it shuts down. If you try to use it off the wrist you have to keep entering the passcode. It's designed that way.

Or the apple stickers

The charging block is an add-on purchase.

I updated to IOS 17 even though it told me IOS 16 was enough.

Yes, does track both when wearing the watch.

They have other colors

Lmfao chill bruh

@@Participant852 NO! I will never wear pink!

You have to be a mature man to wear pink.

🤣🤣🤣

I think you need an iPhone 15 to use that feature. It has the new chip in it that lets it determine exact location and distance
