It will take a few minutes for the data plan to activate on your Apple Watch, and then you can use the watch even if it’s not connected to your iPhone. Usually, you’ll get a message from your carrier that your watch is paired with your cellular account, but sometimes it doesn’t. Despite this, your data plan will be activated in a few minutes.
