Carriers for Apple Watch Cellular
I'm interested in an apple watch with cellular. Does it only work with the four carriers listed? I have Ting for my iPhone which uses T-Mobile towers. Wondering if I will have to change carrier...

Unless your carrier is explicitly listed in the list
https://www.apple.com/watch/cellular/
then your carrier cannot be used with the Apple Watch. NVMO operators (those using another carriers towers) must have an contractual agreement with the carriers providing the cellular signals. There are few, such as Xfinity, but not many have that kind of contract.
You can use a GPS only Apple Watch and as long as your iPhone is nearby, you can do everything the cellular can do. Where nearby is basically in the same home (assuming it is not super huge, and that it is wood frame construction).
