Anyone tried or knows how to get by with just an Apple Watch as the one and only phone device?
I'm interested in an phone device for the arm which I could use (to be contacted) in emergencies thus the Apple Watch is a candidate.
I would like to go smartphone free and could use my Apple Watch for Apple Pay and (emergency) phone calls + the iPad Mini (Camera, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams calls, web browsing, podcasts) if needed.
My understanding is that the Apple Watch has to be paired to an iPhone but can't be paired to an iPad or am I understanding that wrong?
and If so why?
TLDR: Does one or both of these combos work for cellular phone calls?

- cellular Apple Watch and a WiFi iPad with no iPhone
- Apple Watch paired to a cellular iPad with no iPhone
