Apple Watch

Hello,


We are planning on switching cellphone plans and I am wondering if I need hot spot to connect to my watch from my phone, or if just using cellular data from my phone connects my watch.


My watch is the GPS one, not the cellular one.


I will be upgrading my phone to an iPhone 13 as well, if that makes a difference.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15

Apple Watch (GPS only) lets you send and receive text messages, answer phone calls and receive notifications when it’s connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The built-in GPS works independently of your iPhone for distance, pace and route mapping in workouts.
