Apple Watch Cellular vs. GPS I am currently looking to purchase the series 7 apple watch. This is going to be my first ever apple watch. I am just stuck on which one to get, I want the GPS one as I don't have the money to pay extra monthly for cellular. BUT I was wondering.. I always have my phone with me so would I still be able to make calls or send messages through the watch when my phone is with me? Like what are the differences between the 2 watches when my phone is always with me? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Dual SIM WatchOS 9 - no badge to distinguish which cellular line is called Hi, When I receive calls on my iPhone with DUAL SIM a little badge (in my case "P" for private and "B" for business) is shown that tells me which cellular line is called. Until WatchOS 9 this badge was shown on the Apple Watch as well... Since my upgrade on WatchOS 9 (and even with my upgrade to the Series 8) this badge is not shown. The Apple Watch Guide says the following: How Apple Watch receives calls when using multiple cellular plans When Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone: You can receive calls from both lines. Your watch shows a badge that tells you which cellular line you received a notification from—H for Home, and W for Work, for example. If you respond to a call, your watch automatically responds from the line that received the call. I already reset my Apple Watch and set it up as a new watch. I resetted my phone settings as well but nothing changed iPhone 11 Pro iOS 16.1 / Apple Watch Series 8 WatchOs 9.1 Does anyone know how to fix this?

The Cellular + GPS Apple Watch has an eSIM and shares the iPhone's phone number, and the carriers that support the Apple Watch charge a monthly fee. In the U.S. the fee is $10 per month.

Here is a list of carriers that support the Apple Watch:

Ask Consumer directly if Watch is supported.

The watch uses the phone's number via an Esim that is built into the phone.

I don't know what a consumer cellular plan is.
