Watch Series 4

I have the Series 4 watch with cellular plan. When I first got it I used to leave my phone at home and needed the plan. Now, I no longer need the plan but I am not ready to upgrade the watch. Can I still use the Series 4 with out a cellular plan?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 9

You can continue to use your cellular Apple Watch after removing your cellular plan. The “Remove your cellular plan” section of the following support article can help you remove your cellular plan: Set up cellular on Apple Watch - Apple Support


As long as your Apple Watch has a connection to Wi-Fi or your iPhone, you’ll be able to use internet-connected features. Your Apple Watch will not be able to make phone calls without a connection to your iPhone, but with watchOS 10, it will be able to make FaceTime Audio calls with a Wi-Fi connection.
