You can get the Series 3 or 4 GPS only Apple Watch and it will work normally regardless of carrier.


You can even get the cellular model of either and they will still work except you will not be able to set up cell service on them.


The Apple Watch works with the paired iPhone most of the time. The Cellular connection is only needed if your watch is away from your iPhone and wifi, and you need make and receive calls or send and receive messages on it.

Check with your carrier to see if your iPhone plan is eligible for Apple Watch cellular service. If you have an enterprise or corporate cellular service plan, check with your company or carrier to see if they support this feature. Some pre–paid and some older accounts aren’t currently supported. To activate cellular service on new carrier networks, customers first need to update iPhone to the latest version of iOS 12 and Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular) and Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) to the latest version of watchOS 5.
