GPS only Version.

Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS) lets you send and receive text messages, answer phone calls and receive notifications when it’s connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The built-in GPS works independently of your iPhone for distance, pace and route mapping in workouts.


GPS + Cellular Version.

Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular) has all the same features, as well as built-in cellular. It gives you the freedom to send and receive text messages, answer phone calls, receive notifications, and stream Apple Music and Apple Podcasts — even when you don’t have your iPhone with you.


Tesco mobile doesn't support the cellular apple watch,EE,Vodaphone and O2 are the only network providers in the UK that support the watch.
