Cellular or GPS? (alien.top)

I’m looking at getting a series 9 as it’s a huge jump from my series 3, is it worth it getting cellular and paying the extra $200(AUD) I’m still at school and am frequently away from my locker and phone, but, will the Bluetooth connect range be enough for it to be viable?

Depends on your use case, but I personally do not think it’s worth it, as I always have my phone on me. Even if I didn’t, I don’t see many scenarios where I’d need to use the watch functions.

Keep in mind you’ll need an additional cellular plan for the watch, and cellular connectivity is power hungry versus WiFi/bluetooth.
