Don't they require smart phones to work though? All the ones I have had are all just BT devices which require a phone to do anything beyond tell the time

My Samsung watch works without a phone on Google Fi network. Watches get a free line.

On Google Fi the watch data "piggy backs" on the phone's data. You still need a phone + phone plan.
