Does the apple watch 2 use a lot of data from your iphone data plan?

How much data does the apple watch 2 use? As much as an IPhone would?

I was just wondering how many items you can use on one data plan? I have 2 IPhones on one plan now.

Depends on the apps you use. It can use no data, if you don't use apps that would use data.


Basically the watch is an extension of the iPhone. If you do things like send iMessages it will use data to send if it's not connected to wifi.


regarding devices on a data plan, the Apple Watch uses data through the iphone its paired with, so to your carrier it will appear as just the iphone using it.


the watch is not an independent Cellular device.
