Ah sorry! Yeah exactly!That was me thoughYou are correct and I didn't add the fiver a month, so it is basically 6 and half a dozen. I personally prefer to pay outright, but can see why people go for spreading the costs.
Thanks.... missed the fact you can't order the series 3 in SS without cellular.
Now I have to decide whether or not I want to pay for something that I will have no intention of using.
I guess it depends what your current position is, I have a S0 watch so the device itself is a great upgrade (processor, storage, water proofing, sensors, display). If I had a S2 already it would be a tougher choice.
ETA: I see you have a S0 too
It’s just madness, how hard is it to fling an email around the company with prices on!
I'm pretty sure is £5 a month.
The EE website also says this in FAQs....... so seems like is all an automated process to add on the plan.
Handy hint: If you want to use data from your Apple Watch Series 3 (4G), you’ll need to buy an EE Apple Watch Series 3 (4G) data plan through the Apple Watch Series 3 (4G) app on your phone.

Info: You are now chatting with Suresh.
Info:
Suresh: Hi, welcome to EE, the UK's biggest and fastest network. I'm Suresh on Service Chat. How may I help?
Nicola: Hi. I took out an EE contract earlier this week. I have preordered an Apple Watch 3 with cellular from Apple. How much will it cost me to add this to my plan? Or has this not been decided yet?
Suresh: Hello there Nicola, good morning, thanks for joining EE
Suresh: May I ask if you've bought the apple watch through apple?
Nicola: Yes, preordered direct from apple
Suresh: Great, in the case EE won't bill you for the Apple watch.
Suresh: You'll however need to connected the Apple watch to the phone you've got on contact with us.
Suresh: Once the watch is connected to the phone, you'll then be able to use the watch to call, text and data and that will come off your monthly allowances.
Nicola: Even when it uses cellular on its own?
Suresh: Yes even when it uses the cellular on it's own it'll come off the monthly allowances.
Nicola: This statement on your website led me to believe there may be an additional charge. Handy hint: If you want to use data from your Apple Watch Series 3 (4G), you’ll need to buy an EE Apple Watch Series 3 (4G) data plan through the Apple Watch Series 3 (4G) app on your phone.
Suresh: Yes, but that's applicable when you buy it through us on a monthly plan.
Nicola: Ok, so it won't cost me any extra and I'll be able to use it on the cellular network without my phone?
Suresh: That's absolutely correct, Nicola
Nicola Fantastic thanks.
Suresh: You are most welcome!
Suresh: Is there anything else I may assist you with today?
Nicola: No that's all for now, thankyou
Suresh: No worries at all, it's been lovely dealing with your query and chatting with you this morning
Suresh: Have a lovely day and take care.
Suresh: Bye now

They seem to contradict themselves too much. Why don't they just put something out on their website?
Anyway, you guys on EE, which contract do you have?
I'm currently on Three because of the Unlimited Data plan, plus Feel like home - which is great if you're a traveller - but seriously thinking of switching 4 the watch

I think people are talking about different things here....
If you buy the Apple Watch on a plan via EE it will be for 24 months so cannot cancel because your monthly payments are part service payment and part payment for the watch.
If you buy phone direct from Apple and add on to existing iPhone call and data it will be £5 per month (this has been documented via Macrumors news so I have no reason to believe this amount to be wrong) which they prob will let you cancel at any time as it will likely be treated as an 'add on'.
The EE deal is actually not too bad (compared to paying over 24 months on Paypal credit) but they don't have a full selection of watches and bands available and of course it ties you into EE for 2 years for your iPhone also.

They said no ever time I asked this. It also states online that you need to be on a contract.
Is the one of the left your offer? It shows on their website. The one on the right sounds a lot more appealing.
Having said that, Apple Music traffic won't affect your data allowance, so maybe 2GB are enough?
If you have a read through the past comments several advisors have suggested otherwise on the stated £5 a month add on deal.
Understandingly confusing for most wouldn't you say?
I hadn't seen that. That's interesting. But it's also a fiver more expensive. Then add in another 5 for the AW. It comes to £31
Yes it is confusing but I don't think the advisors were doing anything more than guessing in some cases.

It does appear it is free to add to existing account for 6 months if already on SIM free 4G contract and purchased from apple directly. £5 thereafter.
