Great Point about the need to make sure you have the same carrier between phone and watch. I have a Dual-SIm unlocked with both VZ and ATT, can i use an ATT or VZ watch with it?

If you have a cellular version (stainless only comes in cellular) but don’t have a cellular plan is there any benefits or functionality that cellular model (with no cell plan) has over the GPS version ?

There is no additional function other than being about to activate cellular.

If you are with EE then you have to speak to EE about activating the plan for your cellular watch. If you have a GPS version, you dont need to do anything.

I simply can’t afford the cellular version but I always have my phone on me anyway, would you say it’s still worth getting the 7 but without the cellular mode?

[@selvin6260]

If I get the gps version, on the Apple website it says in order for it to work I need it to be paired with my iPhone through Bluetooth but also connected to the wifi. So my question is, if I leave my home, I won’t be connected to the wifi anymore, will I still be able to use all the features of the gps version if I’m only connected through Bluetooth?

[@InsideWire]

If you leave your phone at home and only have the GPS version, it wont work, you can track fitness stuff and listen to offline music but not much more than that. If your phone has no data and you have GPS version, same thing applies as above. Hope i answered your question.

I'd love to buy an SE 2 so I can leave the iphone at home when I come to work but I'm afraid the battery won't last all those hours with the cellular on. I still use an Apple Watch Serie 2 :)

[@S45909]

Hi I have series 4 so is it worth to upgrade to series 7? And if yes which is good nike version or regular version?

[@ArchitD]

Let’s make it easier according to today’s date! You have Series 4, that’s basically an Apple Watch SE, that just doesn’t has ECG, but has always on altimeter, as compared to Series 4. SINCE YOU ALREADY HAVE ECG in your series 4, only difference is the always on altimeter, which you’ll anyways get if you buy the new series 7. Now answering your question, I’m helping you by suggesting you to watch newer Apple Watch SE vs Series 7 videos on KZbin to get the best idea of the differences between the 2. Thanks 😊

[@cherryluong1079]

The size is a issue for me right now. I feel the 41mm is the perfect size, but when it comes to texting on it, the keyboard is small. And I feel the 45mm might be too big for me. uggghhhhhhh. I'm not sure. I might end up returning the 41mm and getting the 45mm.

Always a tough choice. Do you text from your watch alot?

[@larryx2082]

the stainless steel option is a lot more money, is the stainless steel that much stronger? Stainless steel is not an expensive metal but it is priced that way.

[@anthonyb2990]

Well, look at the Rolex Submariner $7500 for 904L stainless steel which is more than a Tudor in Titanium. most high end sports watches that hold their value are in stainless steel and not Ti or aluminum. However Aluminum can be almost as tough as stainless steel depending on the type they're using. People instantly think aluminum is weak because of soda cans but aluminum is used at aircraft grade levels and is penty strong enough to go on your wrist. I'm not sure what type of aluminum and stainless steel Apple uses but I'm sure they're both solid.
