data plans for smartwatch

i know everyone said you don't need a data plan for your smart watch. But what I want to know is will the health statistics work without one. For instance, I need to keep a log of my heart rate, ecg, etc. all the info for health and heart, etc. will all these functions work properly without a data plan and without having my phone with me? Because if not, it seems to me I could just run an app on my phone to do all that seeing I would have to carry it around any way. I have no clue about all this and I am sorry if the question is redundant.

  • I just got a Galaxy Watch 7 in July and briefly used a Garmin before that. Didn't have a plan for either, but was still able to successfully and accurately sync with phone apps once reconnected. I've been impressed by the sync accuracy. Works even if I'm charging the watch and carrying my phone for step counts.

  • Is it possible to add a plan for my Galaxy Watch 7? Everything I opt for on the app or website leads me to buying a watch, which I already have.
