What kind of features do the cellular version of the watch not have that you would need to be truly standalone? It gets pretty close for me... I can take calls, view and respond to texts, listen to music, track my workouts, etc. all without carrying my iPhone. While still requiring the watch to be connected to the iPhone for system updates, installing apps, etc. is not ideal, that doesn't preclude somebody from using the watch without also carrying an iPhone at all times.

Basically just a camera and the ability to do setup, apps and updates without the iPhone. I don't want an iPhone accessory, I want a wrist computer.
