I might get downvoted into oblivion for this, but I'll chime in with my opinion.

I have had poor customer service experiences with U.S. Mobile. For example, they lost my number for about 4 weeks during a simple port. The only thing that they did to make up for it was offer me $5 off for a few months. And, they kept bragging about how great their customer service was when they communicated with me. This issue was a pretty big inconvenience for me, and I was surprised at how poorly they handled it (given their supposed reputation for good CS).
I also find that they sneakily raise prices or take away features.
Additionally, their subreddit brigades anyone who raises valid complaints.
I don't trust them as a company and find that their CS cannot handle certain issues with any sense of urgency.

I am using Redpocket 200min/200M $30/360day plan on a Galaxy 6 LTE watch. It works standalone but I used a Samsung phone to set it up.

I have 2 kids with apple watches. It used to be the only way to activate watch was on an iphone on the carrier. You activated the watch via the Iphone. I had to put my sim in my wife's iphone temporarily to activate their watches.

Sadly, I can say the same thing for T-Mobile Verizon and AT&T. With the majority of major business companies corporation all of them seem an issue.. and most big operation customer friendly. Don't see why you would get down voted and I wrapped you as well as I voted. For any company, including this one it's at your own risk I have not found one cell phone provider, one big company that has not had an issue. Lol

With the watch only plan, can one choose which of the 3 networks to use? Currently on T-Mobile and although that works fine for cell phones, the watch coverage for a child is not great and his friends on AT&T have much better coverage so might be a good idea to move just the watch from my TMO account to this one on AT&T or Verizon.

Two lines on Red Pocket (GSMA). One on Visible. One line on US Mobile (I had prepaid for a year).
Red pocket is absolute garbage compared to US Mobile. I had 5 lines on Red Pocket and support was horrendous. Deprioritizing data made the hotspot very slow. Also they offer zero capability to use their lines internationally so I had to swap out sims. US Mobile has been an exceptional value with excellent service and their plans include the ability to add international roaming. I've tried most major MVNOs and I'm sticking with US Mobile until they give me a reason to change.

...so I'm with Verizon for AWU2 on watch only plan for $10 no fees or taxes

Lemme tell you AW without a phone is a pain. You have limited use and you have to set it as kid on familly account.
Apple made it so hard and took so many features away that is not worth it to have a stand alone AW.

100% agree. The only thing that I find annoying is priority data is on 5G, but if you are on LTE typically I have observed much slower speed than a Verizon postpaid line.
Afaik, as long as you have a 5g capable device, both 5g/LTE will be provisioned as priority on Warp. They get that info from your sim/esim. Now overall service and speeds are still dependent on location and congestion. Coverage among the big three is largely location dependent. US mobile lets you teleport between them which is great to test

Just hope you don't need access to call records more than a few days or weeks old. I got the same flippant treatment. CS says "why do you need it?" I told them "None of your business!".

Why post about a deal that is coming soon and no timeline in sight. For all you know, it could be coming soon, along with an Apple car.
It released Monday. You have to go to the website to see it. The app doesn't show it
