Yes.

assuming you are comparing the same model, size, band across retailers.

No all retailers may carry all models, or configurations.

Return policies may differ.

Warranty is from Apple, so that is the same.

And keep in mind that you need an iPhone 6s, SE (1 or 2), 7 or newer running iOS 13 or newer.

If you are buying a cellular, your iPhone carrier Must support the Apple Watch, as the Apple Watch shares the iPhone’s phone number. The carrier will add a monthly fee to the iPhone’s bill. In the U.S. the fee is $10 per month added to the iPhone’s bill.

And a GPS only model will do Everything the Cellular model will do as long as your iPhone is nearby.

Mr. Harris,

Thank-you very much for the valuable information! I just purchased the Series 5 GPS, 44m, aluminum/silver from WalMart. Only because they had one in stock and if I had ordered from Amazon, Best Buy, or Apple, there would have been some wait time and the cost was pretty much the same everywhere. Like you stated, I have my phone with me all the time, so I did not see the need for a cellular model. Thank-you again for your very helpful response.

Jeff
