Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular??

Music streaming certainly does count against your data for most cellular plans in the US. Telkom in SA DO have a plan which includes uncapped music streaming from Apple Music https://secure.telkom.co.za/today/shop/plan/telkom-lit_2017/

Not sure what relevance the banks not supporting Apple Pay has to do with whether the watch has cellular? In any event you can make use of Apple Pay on the Apple Watch without a cellular / wifi connection. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205547

So literally nothing in your post is correct.

I had to get my bank to authorize the use of my card on Apple Pay. That’s in the US.

He’s probably staying that banks in SA don’t support Apple Pay.

Streaming does not go against your cellular. Go look at Tmobile as an example - you get unlimited music and video streaming for free.

Apple pay doesn't work on South Africa either. There is no point to a cellular Apple watch in South Africa, the benefits you get from it just aren't avaliable there.

Literally everything in your post is wrong.

You name T-Mobile, I named Telkom. So it looks like unlimited streaming isn't an issue that counts in the debate. If you want it, you can get it regardless of country.

You can get Apple Pay working in SA if you really want it. I have it working on my non-cellular Apple Watch. http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-use-apple-pay-in-unsupported-country-bank/ BUT my point is whether the watch supports cellular or not makes NO difference to Apple Pay.

So both the issues, you say result in the cellular having "no point" in SA, are bogus.

Cool story bro.
 
Just remember that in the US the cellular one works great because things like music streaming doesn't count towards your data cap.
Which is totally irrelevant.

So you'll literally just getting the cellular watch to be reachable via a phone call.
And that is a perfectly good reason, even if it really were the only useable feature.
