Should you get cellular with the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE 2nd generation or new Apple Watch Ultra? I share with you what I consider the REAL reasons to get a cellular Apple Watch. A cellular Apple watch gives you calling and messaging away from your phone. Family sharing allows you to setup a watch for a loved one without a phone. You can keep in touch with the kids through the watch or see where they are at. A cellular Apple watch also is great for safety. If your iPhone battery watch dies, you can still call someone. If you are in an accident, crash detection can call for help. Is Cellular on an Apple Watch a waste of money? I don't think so, I think it is a great backup plan at a minimum. But the fitness features, apps, messaging and calling make the Apple watch a valuable tool. Cellular just makes it even better.

I had a medical emergency and I couldn’t walk and I couldn’t reach my phone. I was able to call 911. I’m so thankful I have cellular on my watch.

@Burps___ Год назад

The AW SE has cellular for $50 extra (AW8 its $100 upgrade) and, for the entire life of the Watch, even if a person does NOT add cellular add-on to their phone plan, they can still call 911 anytime. Just for owning that watch! Thank you, Apple. This alone makes buying cellular AW a must.

@fatguy9 Год назад

Being able to call 911 without a plan is such a good point that 95% of people havent even thought of including me

@Dr_Cole Год назад

I found that I was much more comfortable giving my kids an AW+ Cellular at a younger age than I was getting them a iPhone. This enabled me to get those protective benefits into their hands a few years before I wanted either to have their first iPhones. As there are some limits on how an AW connected as a family share watch (certain items like third party sleep tracking and other apps that monitor sensors seem to have difficulty doing this beyond the primary AW user), the Autumnal upgrade season is great for taking an older iPhone and dedicating it to a child having a fully functional AW via connecting it to their own iPhone. We just did this for our 9-year old. My wife’s iPhone 12 PM is now his iPhone. However, it is permanently stored on my nightstand as it solely operates as a master devices for his AW 6.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is so true about getting one instead of a watch. You gain so much protective benefits, without giving them too much with the phone. I am curious to see how the family sharing works.

@AbsFabbs Год назад

Thanks for the advice. I just bought my daughter who is 8 an AW for this exact reason. I was told I would be able to use without a phone but finding it difficult. I will try to hook it to my old iPhone.

@muzzymikeonthemic9359 Год назад

I’ve had one Apple Watch or another with cellular for the last 4 years and I don’t regret it one bit. I don’t use it too frequently, either, but it has definitely helped out in some tough situations and been convenient in others.

@jmoorecareers Год назад

Good perspective, thanks. My Watch 4 is cellular. I had a plan for almost 2 years and never used it. Just ordered a Watch 8 without cellular. I have no intention of leaving my iPhone at home, but that's just my personal situation.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Thank you very much. I appreciate what you are saying. I found I don't use mine as much as I thought. You tried it out and didn't find it useful. It makes sense to save the money. Thank for sharing your experience.

@MommywithaCause Год назад

I do! I have the Watch SE w/ Cellular and am so thankful! It’s a great convenience to have when you don’t want to always have your phone in the same room but at the same time, can still respond to NECESSARY messages if need be!

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Hello Raven. Glad to hear Cellular has been worth it for you. Thanks for sharing your experience and for watching

@fatguy9 Год назад

I have cellular on my watch for emergencies, all it takes is one time in your life that you really need it for it to be worth it. Im also looking forward to the long battery life on the ultra

@americanpaisareturns9051 Год назад

Thanks for the info. I plan on getting one for my elderly mother who is prone to falling and tends to forget taking her phone with her from time to time. She never forgets her watch though so I figure this one would be a good bet to go with.

@RiptideKuroki Год назад

It is definitely worth it in my opinion. Recently gave my brother my old Cellular Watch SE and got myself the Series 8 (also cellular). In small things like using maps while im driving, it is super useful to just glance at my wrist on the steering wheel without having to look at my phone, same thing when getting a call and my phone is out of reach. If you can afford it I would highly recommend it! Also been a lifesaver at work when ive left my phone in the break room and I get an email or message that is urgent.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Thanks you for sharing your experience. Glad to hear that you are getting use out of it. The haptic feedback and direction on the watch are great. I feel like it is safer at times than looking at my phone.

@michellem86 Год назад

I just got my series 8 ss with cellular. Previously had the series 5 aluminum with cellar. In my experience most of the time I used the cellular it was by choice to leave my phone at home. But there were a handful of times where the watch came in clutch. I have gotten into an accident on my bike. The Watch called emergency services. Times where I lost my phone etc. For me cellular Apple Watch is definitely worth it.

@davecerv Год назад

I’ve been having a good time out in public without getting lost on my phone anymore. The text to speech works quite good. I’ve been enjoying my SE 2 cellular watch 😃

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Very cool. Glad to hear it has been working well for you and keeping you from getting lost. Thanks for sharing.

@User_wtf5g4l1p Год назад

Absolutely on point bro all the good reasons for paying a little extra on cellular apple watch. I'm a person in a wheelchair n it's so convenient for me especially when I'm out n about I don't need to pull out my iPhone for basic usages like receiving/making calls or checking any important mails/texts or replying back, all that can be done from my apple watch cellular, even the gps comes handy just in case if you get lost 😄. I love it. Great video with valid reasons for having a cellular apple watch. It does give you a peace of mind to know you have that extra security n Safety.

@pieter-6385 Год назад

how about battery life for the celular? I never had Apple watches, I am wondering how much it affects battery and whether I should get the ultra only for the bigger display and battery? Thanks alot

@latoyasuperville6686 Год назад

Thank you for this video. It convinced me to upgrade to a cellar AW.

@aliciacraig7637 Год назад

I bought the S7 GPS only last year on release day. But I felt the new safety features and going cellular was worth an upgrade. Purchased the S8 cellular on my lunch Friday; got back to work and sold my S7 to my coworker. The peace of mine I feel is definitely worth it to me.

@VincentPascual Год назад

I have a stainless steel Apple Watch, which only comes in cellular. I chose stainless steel over aluminum because it has been more durable in my experience. I don’t use the cellular functionality because I always have my phone with me whenever I’m out and about. After reading the comments here, I’m glad to know the watch will work in emergencies even without a cellular plan set up. The only time I wished I had cellular set up on my watch was when I left my phone at the Apple Store for repair. I could only send or receive texts on my watch while on WiFi.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is nice to know you have the cellular back up for Emergencies.

@lifuchs1 Год назад

I have a continuous glucose monitor and the app on my cellphone and watch. So convenient to look down at my watch and see my current sugar levels and/or be notified of approaching lows or highs so I can act accordingly/

@creedstump0662 Год назад

i definitely will be getting cellular now that i know how it works. being able to listen to music without my phone on me would be insanely useful, especially when going to the gym or wherever

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

I hope it is helpful for you. It has been nice for hiking and leaving the phone in the car. Being able to take calls through the HomePods is great.

@tbottom100 Год назад

I personally love my cellular watch series 5, before that I had the series 3 cellular. I personally, will always get a Apple Watch with cellular to it because on the two or three occasions that I physically didnt have a phone, and I needed one it worked great. Say for example whenever my phone was broken, the gps saved me because for my job (Im a GM of a restaurant) I constantly have to be on the clock, and the watch works perfectly for the time being until I can get a new phone.

@pgxrpf Год назад

I got the series 8 cellular version primarily to stream my music on my walks without needing my phone for a potential emergency .

@BYOB561 11 месяцев назад

This video really opened my mind up to a lot. I usually do gps but now that I think about it a lot of things you said makes perfect sense.

@anthonydauer Год назад

If there’s WiFi where we go frequently and we forget our phones, as long as the watch has been connected to that WiFi initially with the phone, we’re still connected without our phones. I started both of my kids off with cellular watches. While both of their schools have WiFi, the security system in place can block it out until it’s reconnected through the phone. Our only necessary use so far was on a rainy day when the school shifted the pick up point and my son called me and let me know. I use the Find My to know when to go out to meet him at the bus stop. Thanks for the video though, I purchased an Ultra and now I probably won’t maybe will turn it on. Use case (since I am one of those who cannot take anything into the office) for me is the collusion alert.

I just took a new job where the employer will provide a phone. I'm averse to carrying two phones, so I was thinking of going cellular AW connected to my personal phone in lieu of carrying both around. What are your thoughts on that? Is it a reasonable expectation to use AW to minimize the bulk of 2 phones?

@Hbd2002 11 месяцев назад

Do you have to have a separate cellular plan for each phone or any of the phones?

@kerusso3568 Год назад

Does the watch have the same signal strength as the phone?

@minimutt1408 Год назад

I'm older. My cellphone isn't permanently affixed to me, but I grew up wearing a watch, and have been wearing a fitbit. I often leave it/forget it at home. But I also walk my dog a lot and live alone. So the idea of being able to make a call for help, the crash notification are high on my list as reasons to get it. Then the ability to keep a shopping list, etc., is also useful. Not to mention many places are getting way from directories in favor of apps. An apple watch should be able to give me walking directions.

@MatthewVlossak 2 месяца назад

Found your video while researching cellular Apple Watches. I had the first gen SE 40mm gps and had difficulty with it especially when at the gym and needed connection to my phone for important work calls/texts or when running and the armband constantly came undone. Wal-Mart had a deal for the Series 8 41mm for $299 and Verizon gave me a deal with crediting me back the $35 activation charge AND told me it was $7.50 a month vs. $10 a month. It was a no brainer to get cellular. So thank you for this video! Also, like you said, piece of mind is nice to have too.

@HughD Год назад

Timely video, Craig. As with other Apple hardware "upgrades" you have to decide up front if you'll possibly have a need/desire during the time you own it. If you don't spring for it initially, you can't change your mind later. For $100, even if you decide not to activate it right away, it's a good option to have...for me, anyway. I have it and am glad I do.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Thank you Hugh. I figured it was decision time for some folks. You make a good point about that having to decide upfront. Especially with the SE, I would go for that cellular since it is $50. I think its a great backup. Even if you don't activate it, you have emergency service with that cellular. Thanks for sharing and watching Hugh. Hope you are doing well.

@avjee Год назад

I just got the AW SE 2 cellular, query is just that to enable calling to and from the watch, even if the watch is not connected and away from the phone, my phone need to be (must) turned to the Airplane mode. Then only all the calls come over my watch. Let me know if anything i am missing

Great video. I have been in LE for almost 30 years but have a 16 year old daughter. I have had every Apple Watch since the original and used to only buy GPS only but years ago went cellular and no returning. As you said it comes down to the security or emergency situations. Would rather have that versus a dinner or whatever the difference would buy me. Thanks

That is a great use and glad to hear it has help you feel more secure. Thanks for watching and sharing.

@Joan6856 Год назад

A cellular Apple watch is definitely a must upgrade for most even if not supported by your cellular plan because of emergency feature only available on the cellular Apple watch, and the convenience of leaving your phone behind is also an appreciated advantage if your plan supports it, but as a I always say I recommend the cellular Apple watch because of emergency feature alone.

@Inzomed Год назад

What is the emergency feature? I’m going to get the new SE just not sure if I should go with cellular or non cellular

You can call 911 even with no e sim connected

I just cancelled the cellular on mine after a year. The most annoying thing is it has a different number that is forwarded to my phone. Which means twice the amount of spam calls that I had no way to block on my watch. 2nd most annoying thing was not being able to stream Audible. Predownload? Aint nobody got time for that.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

I had not ever heard of wrong numbers coming to cell. I can see how that happens and could be extremely annoying. Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear it wasn't great.

@pineappleroad Год назад

Ive just ordered an Apple Watch SE I went with just the standard GPS only model, since i am on Pay as you go with my phone, which in the country where i live, means that i have to use a physical SIM in my phone, eSims are only available on contract, and even then, not all carriers offer them And there are only 3 carriers that support the Apple Watch, my pay as you go SIM is with one of those carriers, but again, pay as you go, so no apple watch plan for me Also, in the country where i live, the emergency calling feature requires a cellular plan to function when the iPhone is not nearby

@artyboy1377 3 месяца назад

It makes sense that you can use all the watch's standalone features with the GPS model by simply having yr iPhone nearby. I intend to get the Series 9 for my girlfriend's upcoming birthday and am comparing both. The main reasons for the Cellular is in cases where she often forget to charge her iPhone or she will absent-mindedly leave it in her car. She's also a freelance language tutor (house calls) and had often times not check my messages because she find it improper to have her handphone on the table while teaching one to one. I guess a watch-phone would be more discreet.

@dronefilmsgermany Год назад

I need to have cellular only to find the location of the watch via find my app. please let me know if this is possible as I want my 11 year old to get the watch and I should be able to call him when he is outside and also track him as he is small.

I’m so very excited for my iPhone 14 Pro Max 256 GB gold to finally arrive at my door. It’s on the truck out for delivery but won’t be here Monday because of the queens, funeral holiday here in Canada.

@pinkvixen686 Год назад

@dafeac Год назад

I love the first reason, but I cannot get a prepaid service for the watch that is able to clone the line so I have the same number on my watch, the cheapest postpaid is more than double and I do not really need it ! I bought the watch with then only intention of having some distance with the phone but I´ll have to wait until I can afford postpaid plans

@skinykeny Год назад

For me…we were just about to switch to Visible when their plans changed. Was going to cost me $40 more a month. I didn’t want to take the jump to cellular. So we are passing.

If we’re buying cellular AW then we have 2 buy another sim plan for AW or not ?

You have to get a watch plan if your carrier supports it. That sim is paired with your phones number. If you are away from your phone, your watch rings.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Hello, thanks for sharing your use. It is good to hear. It definitely makes sense to get one. I like that you are using it for streaming music.

@1man2manynotes Год назад

Does Verizon force you to also have a phone with them to have a watch data plan?

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

The watch and phone have to be on the same cellular service. Verizon doesn’t force a phone plan with a watch data plan. The phone plan is mandatory, the Watch is an add-on to a phones cellular plan. The technology is not meant to be run on different cellular networks.

@TomBabula Год назад

Another reason is if you are user of both iPhone and Android and switch at time intervals between two and want to save money on buying another platform's smartwatch. Then you can carry AW when you only have Android on you or Samsung Watch when you carry iPhone.

Pick up a call on my aids, or on the phone itself and the watch, with it’s separate number, would keep ringing on my wrist for another 20 seconds and then display a message that the call had failed. The whole time, the person on the other end of the line could hear my watch continuing to ring in the background. This continues to occur, even after turning off cellular! Seems the cellular system in the watch still triggers even with cellular disconnected. Even in the presence of my phone, if I tried to answer a call by tapping the watch, the watch would pick up the call and force me to try to hear and talk on the watch, which is an annoying experience at best. Apple’s software interface could definitely use some tweaking!

How do you connect your number to a cellular apple watch so you can leave the phone at home? For instance if you are just going to the store real quick, or for a walk and don't want to take the phone. Is it difficult or do you need a additional cellular plan?

@CraigsTechTalk 8 месяцев назад

It is automatically connected with your phones number. Both will ring if they are separated. You do need the $10-20 watch cellular plan most carriers offer. When you sign up for your Apple Watch plan, your carrier pairs it with your phones number.

I will be getting the Ultra and activating cellular on it. I’m really hoping the Sirius app works on the watch. I stream it at work. If so, I’ll just leave my phone at home

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Unfortunately, everything I am seeing is saying there is no Sirius App. I hope there is one and it works for you.

@rong.2457 Год назад

@@CraigsTechTalk I get a commercial free Pandora account because I have the SiriusXM app on my iPhone. 🤔 I’ll have to figure out how to funnel that Pandora account over to my Ultra when I get it. I have a dozen “channels” set up of music that I enjoy.

I own a Series 7 with GPS only but decided to upgrade to the Series 9 with cellular as an extra layer of protection. If I’m out and about and lose my phone or, worse, get it stolen, I can use my Apple Watch independently to track my phone or call the Police.

@maverick5995 Год назад

Hey can you tell me, does apple watch ultra usa version works in Australia? For example vodafone?

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

I would have no way of knowing. I would think that Apple has it unlocked to work internationally. I would double check

@juliodelarosa1610 Год назад

Gracias, Su video me dio muchos argumentos bastante validos respecto a comprar la versión con celular. y lo hice, me compre el apple watch cell y es un perfecto salvavidas. Saludos desde Mx

I use my hearing aids for calls only on my iPhone. But when answering calls on my Series 3 AW GPS/WiFi , it just uses its speaker which isn’t clear enough for me. Does anyone know if newer cellular versions connect to hearing aids directly?

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

There is no change that would allow them to connect directly to the watch. The only way to connect would be as Bluetooth earbuds.

@LightningSnake Год назад

IMHO the part of not taking out the phone due to valid security concerns can be also managed with a non cellular smart watch since it uses Bluetooth for sending everything, even then, seeing how you are talking to the watch is also dangerous For those cases I suggest a Smart Band that allows some quick SMS responses (again, all is done via Bluetooth connection) so that people knows you are unable to answer but you are fine and going to call later. As for phone battery dying, buy a small power bank for those scenarios, no need for a cellular watch either. I do agree with the rest of the scenarios though (to a certain extent at least)

Love my cellular watch. I live in SoCal at the Beach….not carrying my phone into the surf😎

@BrunoRibeiroComboios Год назад

Two questions. 1) How’s battery with Cellular activated, can it still last all day? 2) The green antena icon on the swipe-up settings menu (I don’t know the official name of this?) only enables/disables Mobile Data, or it turns on/off all Cellular features including the ability to receive/make calls and SMS? I have a Series 4 GPS version and I am really considering updating to a Celullar version but I’m worried it won’t last all day. Would be great if someone could answer those two questions. Thanks, and great video!

@JohnSmith-lc8mp Год назад

SOme of these reviewers have tested that and it seems cellular cuts battery time in half. That's my main reason for wanting an ultra watch. It has twice the battery life so even on cellular it *should* be as good as a regular watch 8 on Bluetooth.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

I would say for a 1-2 hour hike, the battery will make it all day and I don't get a low power. But 3-4 hours and above, it may not make it the day. The antenna does turn cellular on and off.

@annie9855 Год назад

Mine lasts all day with cellular but I don’t leave my phone all day. So if you are without your phone all day, it may drain faster

Can you stream Spotify over cellular or not?

I don’t use Spotify, but I am hearing you can’t.

Good reasons to have cellular! Thanks for the review! 👍🏾 Oh by the way, cellular was my first choice for all your reasons stated and then some. 😅

@CraigsTechTalk 2 месяца назад

Thank you very much. That is very kind of you to say. Great call going with cellular, it’s a small price to pay.

What is the battery life you get on cellular?

@Wlcrudup2 Год назад

I am legally blind, so I use my watch to ping my phone to find it, many times I walk away from my phone and it rains, and I could just answer on my watch without tripping over things trying to get to the phone. Is also great when I go out for a walk I don’t have to worry about somebody still in my phone. I could just look quickly at my watch if needed. white cane. Great video you did. I.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

I can see how cellular and the watch overall could be so helpful. My wife using the pinging the phone all the time. Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and for sharing your experience.

@laratheplanespotter Год назад

I get my Apple Watch’s with my phone plan. I’ve accidentally left my phone at home and the watch saved the day when my mom had a fall and had to go to the hospital

@iashakezula Год назад

Well T mobile had a deal that made cellular service the same price as Wi-Fi only. That sold it for me , now to figure out the details lol

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

I hope it works well for you and you get some use out of it.

@gbm454 Год назад

does series 8 emergency services require gps+ cellular? , In there website they have shown series 5 ( gps + cellular) , series 6 ( gps + cellular) , series 7( gps + cellular) and only series 8 , without mentioning gps + cellular.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

My apologies for the delayed response. Thank you very much for the Super Thanks. That is very kind of you. If you do not have cellular you can only contact emergency services over Wi-Fi or connected to your phone. Even if cellular is not activated you can use cellular for emergencies. Thank you again. I am sorry that I didn’t respond earlier.

I’ve had cellular since the AW 3. It is useful on occasion. I often leave cell off for battery. It is peace of mind. Look forward to ultra for more battery. Too bad I am not a Garmin guy. WHY is Apple not using solar on these watches? We have seen solar on watches and calculators for decades.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Hello, it is a great backup. That is good to mention you can keep it off for battery life. I am curious about the longer battery life too. It is odd there is no solar. I do wonder if there is a problem with power switching between battery and charging. I am not familiar with the watches like Garmin. Thanks for watching.

@GreatValueLando Год назад

The only reason I get the celluar version is b/c my carrier runs ridicously good deals on wearables. And I trade in the previous year's model. This year I got my series 8 for roughly $150 with tax. Only $10/month to have celluar on it too.

@roselynmvm Год назад

I was going to sign up for the $10 a month subscription but they show you the final bill before fully signing up and it was $30 a month, not $10. I ended up not signing for it but I don’t even know what’s the difference between the paid and unpaid cellular feature cause my watch works just fine for calls and texts without subscription so not sure exactly what I’m missing?

@marthastewart2658 9 месяцев назад

You’re so right as a back up plan. I’m 69 years old and my son wants me to get a new watch with cellular plan in case I’m out and about and forget my phone and have an accident such as falling.😜

@Joan6856 Год назад

Me as a forgetful person a cellular Apple Watch has helped me a lot especially since I can leave my iPhone at home and not have to worry about forgetting it somewhere else so yeah a cellular plan is really great.

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

That is great to Joan. It makes sense if you sometimes leave the phone at home. Thanks for sharing.

@jfpdc888 Год назад

For years I have had apple watches without cellular, however, after a really bad fall when out doing my morning walk.. I needed help. At the time I could use my phone, however, I started thinking, what would it would be like if my phone were to get damaged in a fall. Upon purchasing my Apple Watch 8, I added cellular and very happy I did so. NO plans on falling any time soon, however, it is nice to know I have it as a back up in the event something were to happen. Besides, it helps keep me off of my phone so much and getting caught in the social media rabbit hole.. LOL

@jvaldez5 4 месяца назад

I think the family sharing thing with the watch is a great idea for children. Besides that I don’t really see the justification for the price.

@coragion5509 Год назад

I never thought I would use the cell plan on my watch, but I have left the house several times in the past year and the cell on my watch was a great tool! You said it perfectly, it's an insurance! The 10.00 a month is worth the piece of mind!

@CraigsTechTalk Год назад

Very cool. Thank you for sharing. It’s good to hear that it has come in handy. Thanks for watching.
