Seems like a good deal on the cellular. Does anyone have feedback on the experience of leaving a phone at home and relying solely on a cellular Apple Watch for hours at a time?
Okay, let me help you. I use it to walk and run, outdoors, with AirPods in. I can talk like anyone else using AirPods. I can listen to podcasts like everyone else with a phone. My phone though is an iPhone 13 max, so it's a pain in the ass to bring jogging.
I can't imagine spending hours relying on texting and phone calls through my watch. Unless you have a job where you're not allowed to have your phone on you (in which case you shouldn't be texting and talking on this anyways), I see no reason in the world to leave your phone at home and rely on this. That would be super annoying to see someone having their conversation on their watch, in public. It's bad enough when people speak loudly while on the phone, or have the speaker on, in public. Don't be that person. No one likes that person.

Your input from a 4 year old watch isn't that helpful. The series 3 is junk.
This was so negative dude. There's always going to be something better, but if AW3 has utility why hate? I have certain affinity towards the device as it helped me navigate through runs all the way to marathons. It was nice going out on days without a cell for the last several years. Liberating even.
Only had to upgrade this month after foolishly leaving on during HVAC work.
Cellular is nice when at the pool or water park. However, it's not a replacement for a phone. Series 4 and newer sound 10x better than previous generations as far as making calls.
Definitely want a 7 as I upgrading from a series 1. Going back in forth on the cellular version. As someone mentioned the ability to go for a walk or run in a store without bringing your phone would be ideal. I assume it uses your cell plan data when not connected to the phone? And I assume you can use all apps you would have on your phone such as Spotify etc..?

i leave my phone in the gym locker and go swimming / play racquetball and the watch works fine, its still able to receive calls. Note: you have to pay for the e-sim service and ATT charges me $10 a month extra for it

I've had a cellular apple watch for a few years now. Can't really tell the difference when away from your phone, it just does what it normally does with texts/notifications/calls.
It works, but don't try to hold a conversation on the watch, beyond basic questions. Forget about it in a noisy enviroment. Texting works okay for quick replies or text to speech options. I have an older version 3.
My roommate has a series 5 and uses it for calls and text through voice all day long. Most of her 'phone' conversations are through the watch; it captures voice surprisingly well, even if holding your arm at your side.
Wind noise can be a problem, but even that is not too bad.
I haven't heard how it sounds next to a roaring skilsaw or anything though.
