Are you suggesting, Dale, that it won't even be able to display the time without being connected to an iPhone? I imagine that it will have at least some local functionality.

To send or receive data or connect to the Cloud/internet I suspect it will need to use its connection to an iPhone, but surely it can run even without the iPhone nearby.

Like you won't need it when out running.
I am sure you can use it like a fitbit or a watch without the phone if that is all you want but the OP was thinking it would be better than an iPhone 6 and I was just indicating that it is an apple and oranges comparison. (Although unfortunately there is no company named oranges yet )

It is even a telecommunications company, so that ties into phones.
