I don't have an Apple Watch, but I'd assume there are still quite a few
things it can do without a network connection, such as tell the time,
notify you of upcoming calendar events, keep track of your step count,
log your workout activity, give you turn by turn directions and so on.
Like I said, I don't have an Apple Watch, but isn't this the case?

I guess people who don't want to spend the extra $100 and who generally have
their iPhone along the cellular option is not important, you also have to
remember that if you want your watch on cellular you typically will be charged
an extra $10 a month by your carrier so in addition to extra cost to buy it,
you pay an extra $120 a year for the convenience of having a cellular
connection directly to your watch.
Some MVNO's may not even support cellular for an Apple Watch since it is using
the e-SIM technology and then again even a cellular Apple Watch is not
completely a stand-alone device and a connection to the iPhone is need to set
up the watch and for maybe a few other things.

Subject: watch series 4, to just wifi or cellular that is the question
Hi once again, since there is no dumb question except the one not asked I will
ask. Can someone help this old lady understand why would anyone buy a series 4
Apple watch with no cellular, just wifi? I can understand iPad or iPhone since
you can use wifi at work or home and you can hook into wifi in some places.
However, the watch does actually tell you the time, among every other thing it
can do, right? So you wear it all day, but sometimes you go outside. Is there
enough wifi around to keep the watch running or does it run off your phone's
cellular or wifi? Curious. Going to buy a series 4 watch so which should I get?
Thanks
Reggie and Lex
