In GPS only mode it can use WiFi and your iPhone's radios.


Basically, in GPS only mode, the Apple Watch can do Everything the activated cellular model can do as long as your iPhone is nearby


Read the following

and pay attention to the foot notes.


Also if you have a Cellular without a contract, then read the document as if you have a GPS only model.

A GPS only Apple Watch works anywhere you iPhone works. But you may have warranty issues.


A North American Cellular Apple Watch will only connect to cellular systems in Canada, U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico. It will not connect to UK cellular networks. You would have to use it as a GPS only Apple Watch until you returned to North America and signed up for a carrier, and then it would only work while in North America.


It is best to buy your Apple Watch in the country where you plan on using it.
