[@jimmyboy1582]

I had the SE wifi and ended up trading in for the cellular version. I now go to the gym with it. I get make and receive calls, text message, track my workouts, i downloaded 4 playlist on the watch but I can stream too and I connect my AirPods pro with noise cancellation. I just didn’t like carrying my phone everywhere.

[@CS-xe1oh]

This year in the US the major cellular carriers are subsidizing the cellular version by $100. Made it worth it for me to try cellular again (I was an early adopter with the series 3 cellular)

[@Balithazzarr]

Thanks. Did you say I could access maps on the GPS version?

[@amandaodriscoll5942]

Thanks this was really helpful

[@user-gv3gh7pg6d]

This video great! But I cannot still fix my *Sim Not Supported* for my iPhone 8, Moe did mine..

[@chrissankar8728]

If you were to buy a cellular model from apple, do you have to activate the cellular right away? Or can you just use the gps and wifi capability until you wanted to activate the cellular. Cause I rather get the cellular and activate it later down the road then get the gps and not have the option at all.

[@monito3203]

I just got mine today. If you get cellular, you can still use it with just wifi/blootooth:) so yes, you can activate it later

[@abirahmed1292]

Will apple watch without cellular be able to recieves direct call when phone is nearby but there's no internet connection (through phone data or wifi)?

It’s cool that you don’t have to always bring your phone along

[@fatalclapz]

can you download the app on android

[@tech4life884]

Personally I believe the cellular model should be the cheaper model because you have to activate the watch with a cellular carrier and that's a recurring payment every month and Apple could then charge the carriers to activate the watch and in turn make more money because more people would get the cellular model if it's cheaper.

[@davidtremble7273]

I agree

[@SwagSo7fly7]

Long as you don’t take a promotion when you get it you can cancel that line, I’ve always had the cellular model but I always cancel the line after a month or two

Will apple watch without cellular be able to recieve notifications when iphone is connected to cellular data but apple watch is not connected to internet, but the phone is nearby? Like phone is in my pocket with internet connection through mobile data.

[@bigmaxcc]

Yes

[@toyshanger8945]

In the past, series 3 gps and lte has a significant difference in storage space. Today iwatch 7 lte and gps are almost identical only with the ability of mobile network on your watch.

[@srengramegeberg8347]

I picked up a 6mo old SE 44mm with LTE a week back at 60% of the store cost, and already now I know I will not regret LTE. Went with the SE as I wasn’t sure I would like having a smart watch. But I am loving it.

[@stephanieperrine8062]

So to clarify, does anyone know if you get the gps model, and have your phone on you at all times, can you still make calls and whatnot on it if your not in a place with WiFi?

[@crazypersonlol34]

yes it connects to your phones data

[@Goku17yen]

You can also do FaceTime audio and iMessages when you have WiFi (like in a library or something) and left your phone at home. I’ve tried both on GPS S7 and it works :)

[@Progan666]

So as long as I keep a wifi hotspot around, I don't really need to be tied up in a contract to get essentially the same functionality?

[@JuanPerez-gr8ld]

or just keep your iPhone with you, and you can answer calls, texts, stream music, ect from the watch.

[@ahbad2006]

Nice

[@assyriaaaaa]

Thanks for the video. I'm fairly sure the SE and Series 7 don't have the same processor. SE should be the same processoe as Seires 5 (which is a "rebranded" Series 4 processor?) while Series 7 has rebranded Series 6 processor. Fact check this please.

[@davidtremble7273]

Both have a dual core cpu. Just checked it myself

[@arslano4531]

does iwatch has band in a box or it has be ordered separate? thx

All apple watches come with the sport band. All others, including non apple branded ones are sold separately. There's a plethora of those to choose from.

[@iashakezula]

I am thinking more and more cellular but I have to get it at the apple store and not at T-Mobile . I just need Apple care and not all the other crap they offer with the Apple care.

[@gailenrique2804]

If you get it at tmobile you can get it sometimes less than at the apple store and they will set it up for you, and also get your line and phone number for the watch and get that running as well. If you're concerned with Applecare, be aware you have up to 14 days to sign up in the app or visit the apple store. There will be a deductible to pay should you need assistance or repair work done.

Cellular version is a must for me. Especially when walking my dogs . I have to carry poop bags , snacks , and water bottle for them just not enough pockets.

Im only away from my phone 3-4 hrs daily gym and walking my dog. Only thing that kills my batteries is streaming music thru my airpod. You just have to figure out when to charge depends on your routine. I tend to charge during shower and eating. With new fast charging thats usually enough for me.

[@annabanabanana]

Yes exactly. But IMO the Apple Watch isn’t even worth it if you don’t have the cellular connected to your plan.

[@davidtremble7273]

So will the gps version of the se “piggy back” off your phone or is it only the cellular version do that? Like if you get the gps version Is that basically a guarantee that it’ll only tell you the time and perform the health functions or will it still be able to sync with the your messages and notifications?

[@davidtremble7273]

@Ready Player Two Thank you so much lol

[@simplyrowen]

@Ready Player Two That's for messages, emails, music app, etc. right? But I will still be able to get the time and all basic health features, or do I still need wifi/my phone for the entire watch to work?

[@tech4life884]

The professors are different bro. The SE has the Dual Core S5 SiP, and the Series 7 has the Dual core S7 SiP. There not the same processors. Apple States the Series 7 is " Up to 20% faster in speed than the Apple watch SE ". The wireless W3 chip is the same but that's not the processor. The W3 chip is for connecting wireless Apple devices. Your confused on what chip is what.

[@Mario_1309]

they both have different ringtones though..

[@theassassin8057]

My advice, go for AW SE GPS. Why SE? It's just perfect and decent for daily use. You don't need a watch that can read ECG & SPO2 because those readings weren't as accurate as the readings on the machines in hospital. All it can do is to read, but not interprets. Let the doctors do their jobs. Why GPS? Why pay extra dollars just to leave your iphone at home? 😂

When the series 8 comes out, I will be going back to the GPS Version. I did a test once and I left my phone home and went to work with just the watch. Watch didn’t even make it through a 8 hour day and it pretty much died with 2-1/2 hours left in the work day. If I leave my desk and keep the phone there locked in my desk drawer and go to a meeting either 3 floods up, or if it’s a nice day out and we have them outside, my watch always shows the disconnected (Red X) icon and then I have to swipe up from the bottom, click on the cell icon, switch it off and then switch it back on bout 30 seconds later and then it shows the green cell service connected. I will again be going back to the GPS edition of the AW series 8. And if anybody was wondering, my watch is a Series 6 with the latest software update.

Lol no you can only use the GPS features without the phone if you don’t have a cellular You need to be connected to WiFi thru your watch to get notifications from your phone otherwise your watch isn’t connected to the internet without your phone

[@stevehutton6984]

Hmm, I got a bit confused by T-rey1's answer, and then I looked at my answer which I realised was misleading. (I misread your question as being about the GPS+Cellular version, otherwise I wasn't sure why you would ask). Let me put it it another way: If you have a GPS version (cheaper, without cellular), then you must have your phone with you to make and take calls. If you have a GPS+Cellular version (more expensive), then you can make and take calls whether your phone is with you or is 100 miles away, and regardless of whether your phone is connected to some wifi wherever it happens to be.

[@Sufficient4UsIsAllah]

No. With GPS you have to be in Bluetooth/WiFi range to take calls and use the internet on your watch. Basically you have to take your phone out with you. You need cellular if you want to leave your phone at home and still be able to use your watch for the above. For that you need to buy a monthly data plan. And that might be a separate company from your phone provider. It could be costly, so choose wisely.

[@jessicaal415]

So you can use your watch, text, call, play music, etc, independent from your iPhone. For example, walk your dog or do a run - wear your cellular iwatch while leaving your iPhone at home. You decide during your run you maneuver to the gym and spend some time lifting some weights. Maybe after the run you hop on your car before going inside the house and you still have your watch on; watch still works. You’re now driving to Starbucks, or you ended up driving to work because you forgot something in the office or decided to stop by at the grocery store to grab something. Get the point? Watch still works even when you away from your phone.
