The watch does not use a cellular connection to the phone itself. The watch and phone connect to each other with bluetooth. Cellular is used for the watch to make a call or use the internet without the phone or wifi connection. If you have an Apple watch that has the cellular option, you set up cellular service for the watch itself. Set upinfo here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207578 .


If you are looking at general pairing of the watch to the phone, check here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204505
