Cellular or GPS? (alien.top)

I’m looking at getting a series 9 as it’s a huge jump from my series 3, is it worth it getting cellular and paying the extra $200(AUD) I’m still at school and am frequently away from my locker and phone, but, will the Bluetooth connect range be enough for it to be viable?

I don’t know about the Apple Watch Series 9, but I’m currently using the Apple Watch Ultra and I really feel that signing up for LTE is worth it. 99% of the time I never have to use the LTE feature, but the remaining 1% is very valuable and necessary. There was a time when I went to work and forgot my phone at home, and that day I completely relied on the LTE feature of the watch to receive calls and notifications. However, I think you should also consider a bit, because my Apple Watch Ultra has a very good battery, so using LTE does not affect much, while the Apple Watch Series 9 version may not be able to use LTE as long.
