Apple Watch on a different carrier than the iPhone My carrier (Mint Mobile) do not support Apple Watch. Getting a Watch LTE tied up to the same phone number, I would need to switch carriers for the whole family. That would be both expensive and a huge hassle. Can I have the watch on a different carrier? T-mobile offers $5 / month watch only plan. If I would sign up with that, what are the downsides compared to having the watch on the same operator?

The watches are not locked to carriers and are compatible with most carriers.
