I was really hoping that the watch would be able to share a cellular plan with the phone. I'm not sure I'm willing to buy another cellular plan just for the the watch.

Talk to your cellular provider and ask them to provide this service for free. You're typically paying less than the price of a latte per month which seems quite reasonable.

It needs to because having a different number on the watch would make no sense.

[tinhangliu]

I think they mentioned that the number will be the same

Where do you see that it requires a separate plan?

[Lon7]

It was mentioned in the presentation. It has it's own sim card - something they called an "electronic sim" I think.

[Xixi]

Having its own sim card doesn't mean that it will need its own plan though.

[tinhangliu]

I'm curious to see the data plans

$10/month from AT&T and Verizon, with a few months free up front.

I was interested for no additional charge. I might have been talked into it for $5/month. For some reason, $10/month kills my interest. I'm sure others will decide that's a bargain.

[worldburger]

Agreed. The thing isn't going to congest the bandwidth all things considered. $10 is just too rich for the value proposition, but people just love their internets.
