I would buy cellular version simply because i hate bringing phone to my morning or evening run. Apple watch cellular + airpods will do the job.

I decided to get the LTE Apple Watch for when I’m out on my bike so that I can leave my phone at home so that I can makes calls or send messages and not risk damaging or loosing my phone

[kittylolol]

now I know what to buy! wow thanks!!! you covered everything i needed especially spotify ❤

I wonder why he didn't brought up the most obvious reason. With the cellular version you can leave your phone at the locker if you go to the gym. I go 4 times a week and just need the phone for music.

Does the LTE version work with 3rd party apps like Messenger or others for phone calls OR is it just limited to making/receiving calls only via the phone number linked to the watch? Thanks...

[SamuelMaller]

So if I have Spotify Premium downloads, I can connect to my watch via Bluetooth and listen without an LTE plan?

There are two companies that I recommend that I know of if you don’t want to be locked into a contract and still want to take advantage of the Apple Watches cellular connectivity: there’s visible if you have Verizon coverage or wing alpha which I use works with Verizon as well but also supports AT&T and T-Mobile networks depending on the area that you live. Hands down these two are the best prepaid companies I come to love and enjoy. Except visible was not the right fit for me in my area, otherwise I love both.

i have the LTE version. in class or during the gym, i just completely shut down my phone. i pay 2€/month for something called “number share”. even if my phone is shut down, i receive my calls, messages, i can make them but instead of unlimited data, i have about 10GB of fast LTE for the watch.

did i speedtest, over LTE it’s capped at 10MBPS down and up, which is more than fine for spotify and whatsapp for the watch.

You didnt discuss airalo on smart watch. Can you use airalo on apple watch?

[Ryan_Revier]

I'm using GPS fully on my Apple Watch series 6.

[DwarfishSpy]

Can you make a video on smart watches for people who’ve never had one before?

Where I live in Illinois (and I assume it's true throughout the United States), the Verizon charge for LTE cellular is $56 for activation fee ($35 plus taxes and surcharges), then $15.50 per month ($10 plus taxes and surcharges). I have an LTE cellular AW 7, but never activated it bc I like having my phone near me while running for photos.

Important: All AW LTE Cellulars have free SOS 911 calling even if paid cellular service is never activate. 💙 This is a little know fact, and is the Federal law (if I device has cellular hardware, 911 must work). 🚨 Note: you were incorrect at 6:09 regarding this. Anyone interested, please google or AI search it for details.

I would buy the gps + cellular, it is cost 320$, I found the series 8 only GPS (330$) for me make more sense to take de series 7 Cellular, is more usefull to me :)

[carlover-cx]

I have the SE GPS/Cellular, and it’s 100% worth it! The GPS doesn’t work that well to connect to the Internet. And you don’t need a phablet all the time. “I said phablet since phones are almost as big as the older tablets now.”

[garethm]

If you regularly go running or something similar then yes the LTE version is fine but given that most people carry their phone with them then it makes no sense to pay the extra for the lte version and the BT is sufficient.

[Alex-hzp]

I don’t like to carry my phone with my watch if I’m going on a bike ride and I get a flat tire far away from home I can just ask my parents to pick me up if I have GPS I cannot contact and then I would be stranded with a flat tire thank you this was really helpful now I can go biking with no problem thank you 🙏 thank you so much this really helped. Thank you.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

For me as trucker gps lte works perfect and the difference is 100$ more so better to pay 100 on top and u good to go if u dont using lte fine but better to have lte will come in handy in life.

[Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

You did not mention that if you are sick (eg diabetic or epilepsy) or elderly, you may want the safety of always being able yo make a SOS call on your watch.

Hello Mike. You say that we can answer calls with airpods. And with a diferente bluethoot headphones is it still posible? Thanks
