Q: Can this work without an iPhone
A: You need a iphone to activate it. Once activated there’s a lot you can do without the iPhone, but you need to initially have an iPhone
submitted byRich - 2 months agoA: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple Watch SE 3 No, an Apple Watch SE (or any Apple Watch) cannot work without an iPhone because it requires an iPhone for initial setup, pairing, and management through the Watch app. After the initial setup, a GPS + Cellular Apple Watch can perform many functions without the iPhone nearby, such as making calls, sending texts, streaming music, and receiving notifications, but this requires a separate cellular plan for the watch. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.
