Things I do with my GPS Only Series 4 Apple Watch:

• Every iPhone alarm, appears on my wrist, where you can acknowledge it, dismiss it, etc…
• I like the iPhone 3rd party “Alarmed” app (http://yoctoville.com), for my alarms

• MyRadar 3rd party app will display radar image
• MyRadar and WeatherBug 3rd party apps will send you weather alerts
• Make/Receive phone calls
• Make/Receive FaceTime audio calls
• Use Walkie-Talkie anywhere on the planet
• Silence phone ringing by pressing the digital crown (great for SPAM calls)
• Send & receive iMessages

• Say “Hey Siri, end workout”
• Use a 3rd party garage door opener app and device (such as MyQ)

Since my Wife got her Apple Watch, we have been able to reliably iMessage each other, as she never keeps here iPhone on her person.
If my Apple Watch was lost, stolen, or broken, I would order a replacement as fast as possible, as I would miss it so much.
