Hi,
I’ve been an Apple Watch LTE user since years and I’ve actually recently noticed that even though I exercise daily and use my watch for tracking, I never really use LTE that much. Tops, I might have used it a handful of time in all this years.
What is your experience?
 
Every day. Liquid Tension Experiment is one of my favorite bands. Excited for the new album coming out this month!

Lately I've been using it about once per week, but once the weather heats up and I start to wear fewer layers for my workouts I'll be using it daily as I will not be wanting to carry the phone on me.
 
It's nice to go on a bike ride and leave my phone at home and still be able to get calls and text messages while tracking the workout. Other than that I don't really use it.
I also go on bike workouts often but to be honest, I always follow my navigation on google maps at least part of the way so the watch alone doesn’t suffice. Apple Maps does not support Cycling in berlin yet either so there’s no alternative I know that has map navigation with the bike via Apple Watch
 
Besides running, I also would use it every day at my office. I like to keep my iPhone in a dock at my desk because the 11 Pro Max is too large to comfortably sit with it in my pocket.

With an LTE Apple Watch I can roam around the building and still get my messages. No need to take my phone with me if I just go get a cup of Coffee.

This was me and reading your post made me realize how I used to LTE more on my watch at work. But after covid19, working from home has taken a shift on how I use gadgets. I really enjoy the Apple Watch I hope one day it isn’t dependent on the iPhone and Apple expanding the Apple watch app to the iPad

Every day! Cellular and AOD is what made me get a Watch finally. I use my Watch on its own several times a day usually. Running, at work, shorter errands, I could go on.

I love being able to not bring my phone to the beach, and not having to do the phone/keys/wallet “hiding” in a shoe, like it’s going to fool anybody.
