apple.com/watch/ Apple Watch: GPS vs. GPS + Cellular?

GPS

Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS) lets you send and receive text messages, answer phone calls, and receive notifications when it’s connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The built-in GPS works independently of your iPhone for distance, pace, and route mapping in workouts.

GPS + Cellular Additional $100 initial price + Activation Fee + ~ $10/month access fee + lower battery duration

Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular) gives you the freedom to send and receive text messages, answer phone calls, receive notifications, and stream Apple Music and Apple Podcasts — even when you don’t have your iPhone with you.

Cellular Carrier Support

Connecting Apple Watch to a cellular network requires the same carrier as your iPhone.
