new Iwatch series ^

Can the new series 6 watch GPS be synched to my iPhone 10 plus to answer and make calls from the phone or do I have to get a watch with Cellular ? looking at getting one and just needed to be clear. Is that via bluetooth or just has to be on same wifi network? can this happen on the phone if it is being used as a hot spot?

Here is the difference between the two;

GPS

Apple Watch (GPS only) 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

Apple Watch (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.
