Apple Watch as a standalone

[sbojevets]

Hello guys
I am not sure if I should drop some good money on an Apple Watch. My concern is the watch connectivity.
I do not like the idea of wifi, bluetooth, gps beaming in and out from the Watch on my wrist.
The watch is presentable for work and I find it easier to fork out for this over a Tag Heuer for example..
Besides the notifications what else am I losing out on if I turned off all connectivity? Are there other forms of connectivity that I may have forgot to mention beside wifi, gps, bluetooth?

I tried the Series 0 on clearance from Best Buy and returned it.

You will only get some apps that don't require a connection - like caculator, clock, etc. Most apps require a connection to an iPhone for data and location.

I guess you can turn it on "Airplane mode" to get rid of the wireless transmissions (didn't try that, tough).

Then all it is, really, is just a watch...

For me, kinda pricey watch at $250 (with the taxes).

Like the poster above said, with connectivity off, it's just a dumbwatch.
