How about an Apple Watch with Cellular option? That's as small as it gets.

User experience (Battery life, apps etc) is very poor if you try to use the Apple Watch as your only device

I'm seriously considering that but I am not sure you can make it your only device. Doesn't the watch require an iPhone?

For registration. Why would you have a cellular option if you also have to carry the phone?
