If you have your iPhone with you all the time, or within a reasonable distance from your while you are at home (30-50 feet (10-15 meters), then you can use a GPS only Apple Watch and do EVERYTHING that cellular model can do, except leave your iPhone at home when you leave the house.


I have a GPS only Series 4, and since I always take my iPhone with me, I have enjoyed all the Apple Watch features.


My Wife does NOT always want to have your iPhone with her on walks and bike rides, so she got a Cellular model.


The GPS only is less expensive up front, as it does not have the cellular radio, plus the GPS only does not have a monthly fee paid to the cellular carrier.


Your life style will dictate which you should get.
