If I purchase the Apple Watch cellular, would I need to pay monthly fee to use without my phone?

If you use the cellular function, you must always have an account to do so. You also must use a cellular service provider that supports Watch.


If you don't use the cellular function, but as an overpriced GPS version, no you do not have to have an account.
