Hey guys first post here on the watch forums.

I’d lie to get my dad a new Apple Watch LTE. Main reason is I’d like to be able to locate him via Find My iPhone, but while he is out on walks wearing only his watch. He has an iPhone but doesn’t use it much, if at all, because of his Alzheimer’s progression.

So does anyone know if with the Apple Watch LTE activated and everything, if he leaves his phone at home, and goes outside of Wifi and Bluetooth range... will I be able to find him with Find My IPhone? Will the LTE connection on the watch work to find the watch that will be on him? Hope some one can help me out before I order.
 
I would suggest Find my Friends as this automatically switches between phone and watch seamlessly. No need to login to Find my iPhone every time.
