Nope. If this is your first Apple Watch, you probably don't need it. Ask around and get some opinions.
Had it before. Didn't really use it. Won't buy it again.
If your iPhone is within Bluetooth range you can do 100% of the same things. For me, the only use case where I would want cellular is if I were taking a long hike - e.g., overnight backpack trip in the Rocky Mountains. But, in that situation, I would always want to have my phone as a backup. It would be nice to have both for emergencies.
If you wanted to listen to music, it's easy enough to just copy a playlist to your watch - for like a long run. Maybe there's a situation you need to listen to live streams when you're not near your phone - maybe a stock trader?
I think the person who needs cell capability in their Apple Watch is the fitness nut who's so important that they need to take calls anytime, anywhere, and not mind using a speakerphone. Sooooo, maybe a surgeon or a CEO of billion dollar company.
For me, I would rather listen to the podcast on 1.5x speed later.
I cannot imagine why I would ever buy the cellular feature in my watch.
I love my Apple Watches. I've owned one since they were introduced. I just bought the 6 space grey aluminum. Looking forward to the added features of the 6.
Get one, you'll love it.

I have a series 3 I just haven't been plugged into the latest events.
my sis works for corporate apple, she's gonna apply for the internal employee discount and buy it and give it to me free. Much needed upgrade from my apple watch 3.

Do you guys think the O2 feature is worth it? I'm waiting for reviews for this particular feature.
Honestly as a nurse, I would say the O2 monitoring is useless unless you have pulmonary or cardiac issues or are at risk for or have sleep apnea. For everyone else, it's a cool little gimmick with little value to your everyday life.
She doesn't need to apply. Park of the perks. She can just login and use your credit card to pay for it. You just need to go pick up at the Apple Store. I am still on watch 1 and been doing 15-20 miles hike every weekend mountainous areas. This is tempting especially with barometer.
You forgot the "give it to me free" part. Handing over his CC means he'll have to pay something.

Most ppl will use it on day one and then forget abt it. Another shiny feature from Apple to get buyers sucked in and sell new versions.
