Apple watch I want to purchase apple watches for a group of children. Some have iPhone but some do not . Is there a watch that doesn't require an iPhone to be useful? If I choose family setup do I still need to pay monthly for a line on the watch ? Is there only certain models that allow this feature ? If I choose to pay for a line does telus in Canada support family setup ?
