9 best apple watch phones

the Apple Watch does not function as a standalone phone. The Apple Watch relies on a connection to an iPhone or a Wi-Fi network to make and receive calls, send messages, and access cellular data.

The Apple Watch is designed as a companion device to the iPhone, allowing users to receive notifications, make calls, send messages, and use various apps directly from the watch when it's connected to an iPhone. It can also connect to Wi-Fi networks to perform certain functions without the need for an iPhone nearby.

To use the calling and messaging features on the Apple Watch, it must be paired with an iPhone via Bluetooth. The iPhone acts as the primary device for making and receiving cellular calls and messages. The Apple Watch can handle these functions when it's connected to the iPhone, but it cannot operate independently as a phone.

However, the Apple Watch does have a cellular version (GPS + Cellular), which means it has its own cellular connectivity that allows it to make calls, send messages, and access data even when the paired iPhone is not nearby. But it still requires a cellular plan and number linked to the iPhone.

Keep in mind that developments may have occurred after my last knowledge update, so we recommend checking the latest sources for the most up-to-date information regarding the capabilities of the Apple Watch.
