You can use an Apple Watch with an iPhone 6. I do not believe, however, that you can get cellular service on the Apple Watch from Gif Gaf. So, save yourself the money and don't buy the cellular version of the Apple Watch.

That’s a good point. I had taken the question as relating to a cellular version of Apple Watch - maybe incorrectly. To clarify, my comment above only refers to network support for the standalone cellular service on Apple Watch when the iPhone is not near.


As BobHarris says, the non-cellular (GPS) watch will work by communicating through the paired iPhone, which means it will work on any network where the phone has a data service.
