A simple question which is not quite obvious from the ee e-shop. 

 

Are the Apple Watch Series 6 watches that ee is selling all cellular? I am asking because the site is not obvious not even from the tech specs page. 

 

I understand that it doesn't make sense for a network provider to sell the non-cellular version but better to be sure before ordering.

I'm pretty sure they all are cellular models EE sell.

 

Looking at the Series 6 on the EE page, they all mention "Enjoy unlimited data". And when I click on the "See plan details" it shows the following:

 

Fastest 4G speeds in the UK

Do more of what you love with 4G in more places than any other UK network and speeds of up to 60mbps. 4G PAIRED WATCH PLAN.

 

If the watch wasn't a cellular model, there would be no need to mention 4G on the details, as the none cellular models have no way of connecting to 4G.

 

Hope this helps.

As has already been mentioned EE are only selling the cellular models of the watch which compliment their network.

If you only want a GPS one, it maybe worth looking at Apple, amazon or another retailer.

@ioannisa you may be waiting a long time for the stainless steel model. I ordered mine on the 18th of September and im still waiting on a delivery confirmation date. And it seems that everybody that ordered the SS model is in the same boat.

@adthepadvery disappointing news. I decided after 6 years to ditch my Fitbit and go for an Apple Watch. I persuaded myself to get one via EE directly instead of Apple. I even left in purpose back in Greece my beloved 4 years old Blaze to get a new Apple Watch from EE here in the UK. 

 

To be fair though it seems that the issue is with limited availability from Apple and not EE responsibility
