Q: How much data does the Apple watch use?

Just got an Apple watch. I have a iPhone 6 blue toothed to it. How much data can I expect it to add to my plan.

    You won't see much difference seeing it doesn't load full apps.

    The Watch itself does not use any of your data as it has no cellular capabilities. It connects to the phone via BlueTooth. Apps that you're using on the watch are getting all their information from the phone. So, in the past, in situations where you'd pull out your phone, you now look at your watch. So, unless the watch causes you do start doing radically different things than you did before (e.g, you stream more using using TuneIn because now you have the app on your watch and it's easier to control the app on your phone), you really shouldn't see any significant changes in data use.
