Which Apple Watch should I get for my daughter in college?

Looking to buy an Apple Watch for my daughter , just to track the basic activity and set a few reminders and mail alerts . She being in boarding has no access to phone but has her own iMac and WiFi in the campus. Will she be able to connect the watch to iMac ? Which model should I pick ? Not looking at a very high end model

Hi Randomness-again,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.


Your daughter would need an iPhone to pair with the Apple Watch unless you use Family Setup. You can read more about that here: Set up Apple Watch for a family member. To use all these features, you'd need to purchase GPS + Cellular model for her.


Have a fantastic day!
