Hi, I’m thinking about getting my daughter a series 3 cellular watch. Her current apple mobile is with Tesco and I’m aware they don’t support the cellular. Until I can change her to a compatible provider will she still be able to use the watch as normal just without the features that cellular offers?

thanks in advance 😊

Yes.


When cellular is not enabled, the Apple Watch behaves just like a GPS only Apple Watch. And a GPS only Apple Watch will do Everything a cellular model will do as long as the iPhone is nearby


What the Apple Watch GPS-only can do without an iPhone (there is information about the cellular model as well)
