Can you use an Apple Watch without a data plan and just off your phone?

If you purchase any watch. Can you use it without a data plan and just off your phone?


If later down the line you want to place it on a plan can you do so?

If you are looking at the sport model (aluminum) you have an option of buying the GPS only watch or a GPS+Cellular. No, you don't have to immediately use the cellular function and can later use it. If you buy the Stainless Steel, Ceramic, Titanium or Hermes versions they only come with Cellular.
