Apple Watch Series 6 & Watch SE Cellular Plan Costs Explained

One of the benefits of the Apple Watch Series 6 and the Watch SE is that the smartwatches can be purchased with cellular support, allowing for use of the connected features even when away from an iPhone. However, anything that’s cellular-enabled does come with an extra monthly cost and the Apple Watch is no exception. Furthermore, the exact price can vary depending on the carrier and amount of data needed each month.

The Apple Watch comes with many features that are beneficial to wearers. How many, and the degree to how advanced those features are, depends on the exact smartwatch chosen. For example, the Watch Series 6 is the company’s newest premium smartwatch to date and comes with a blood oxygen sensor. In contrast, the Watch SE isn’t equipped with quite as many advanced health-related features, but it is also significantly cheaper.

The price of the Watch Series 6 starts at $399 while the SE can be picked up from $279. However, anyone wanting the cellular version will be paying a minimum of $499 for the Series 6 and $329 for the SE. Regardless of the purchase price, both cellular versions also require their own line and the cost varies. One of the reasons for this is Apple doesn’t charge for cellular access directly. Instead, mobile carriers do with most tending to charge around $10 per smartwatch, per month.

Adding An Apple Watch To A Plan

For most people looking to take advantage of the cellular benefits of an Apple Watch, the process can be as simple as adding the smartwatch as an additional line to their existing mobile plan. In terms of the price, this will depend on the carrier, although AT&T and Verizon both charge $10 each month for an additional line for a smartwatch. In contrast, a connected device can be set up through T-Mobile (which now includes Sprint) from as little as $5 per month.

It is worth mentioning that these prices tend not to include taxes and fees and, while some carriers do offer the option of a standalone connected device plan for devices like an Apple Watch, the cost of these plans could cost more. For example, T-Mobile’s plan is dependent on AutoPay being set up, excludes taxes and fees, and only includes 500MB of data each month. Those in need of greater data levels will end up having to upgrade to a more expensive monthly plan. Furthermore, some carriers do also charge a one-time activation fee for connected devices, including an Apple Watch, so the price is likely to be higher for the first month.
