@susanpremo I checked and you can buy a new Apple watch SE3 with cellular function (no phone needed nearby) for $299. You can find older models on Amazon for less than $200 that might serve your purpose. Caveat: some "cellular" models require a nearby Apple phone to recieive calls, but some do not, so if interested, know what you're getting. One downside is that the battery life is only about 18 hours, so needs recharging daily.
