Apple watch series 4 question

[Veerasayz]

Hi All,

I have never used any Apple smartwatch before and I would like to start with series 4.

Basically I wanted to use this watch as a standalone device without the need to pair with other iPhone.

So it means I would like to use this smartwatch to make calls , attend calls, to set up fitness profile and follow them to monitor my health regularly, listen to music and ability to install iOS apps.
Please suggest if I can do this with series 4 watch.

Not possible. Even if you get a cellular version of the watch, it will not get its own phone number and will rely on your phone for call and message forwarding.

Thanks for your help. Is it also true with apple watch series 6?

True with all Apple Watches at this point. They all need to be associated with an iphone. Although the new family mode stuff does lessen the connection to a degree.

Hmm. It’s bad! Then, I need to go for Samsung watch.
