I can receive and make calls on it which is why I initially wanted it. It has a choice of watch faces and colours that can be changed easily at any time. My greatest gripe is short battery time. Whilst connected to Bluetooth and WIFI and mobile data/data roaming I will not get more than one day from a charge and need to charge it every night. Other than that it is a great watch...…...and also fun to play with. You can also elect to receive weather updates and news notifications amongst other things.

After having a cheap China smart watch (battery gave up after a year). I decided to treat myself to the galaxy watch 46mm bluetooth only. Paired it to my j7 pro.
Well what a pile of junk it really is. Sometimes randomly disconnects from my phone, even when it's in my pocket. Pedometer not accurate, apparently I had walked 1000 steps whilst on a 10 mile drive. went up and down stairs 10 times, it only counted 1, after receiving a number of texts the voice recognition stopped working then started again after an hour. Heart rate monitor stops and have to tap measure over and over to get it to read regardless of where it is on my arm.
After searching the net theses issues that have been inherent since the birth of this watch and samsung have not been able to rectify these problems.
I am sitting here waiting for Argos to open so I can get a refund
Apart from having nicer faces to choose from it is no better than the cheapie I have been wearing for the past year. And that was only 20 quid. For 300 of my hard earned cash I expected a lot better.

Waggers, 29 Oct 2019The cellular Version is only with EEMine is the LTE version and initially I could not receive calls out of Bluetooth range. I mucked around a bit with the connection settings (not sure if there was an overnight update at some stage) but it is now working fine.

I had this watch for almost 8 month, it was wonderful until I found out that some how water penetrated into it although it never dropped neither got any harmed.
When I came to Samsung laboratory, I was shocked to hear this watch has no warranty if water penetrates to it.
What a shame big Samsung.
I decided to through him to garbage, A 400 $ watch !!
Never trust what you see or hear .

I understand from Samsung Australia that there will be e firmware update to rectify a common problem that allows phone calls to be made out but not received in LTE mode. Hopefully soon.

Had my phone sent away to Samsung (in Melbourne) and had it thoroughly checked out and returned the next day. It checked out fine so I went to the Telstra tech desk. After checking all settings they replaced my sim card and it's now working fine. If you drag down on the screen and go into settings you should be able to connect. The cost here in Australia through Telstra is only $5 per month.

Is there a setting to properly activate it or is it activated by the carrier as there does not appear to be a separate sim card slot.

Only thing is in my carrier is not yet available two sims for the same connection so I must have a separate connection for the watch. Other than that it’s great to leave home for exercise without my phone and still be reachable. Awesome feature the auto LTE function when it gets separated from your phone.

Has anyone got the LTE cellular version of this watch. in the UK
(Ie the one you dont have to have your phone anywhere near it ie miles away as the watch can act as a phone all on its own for text, calls and emails)
As seem to be having some major issues network wise.
The idea was to buy one of these types of watches so I can respond to phone calls, messages and email where Im not allowed a phone like on film sets as they are worried about people taking photos to post on social media which kinda gives the plot away (imagine Empire strikes Back and people all knowing who lukes daddy was before the film came out). Thing is not looking to mess things up just be able to respond to work calls saying can you work on tuesday so can book it etc. Cant do that with no phone but can with a cellular smart watch. These watches dont have cameras so there should be no probs.
But the idea also was to buy the watch upfront so could add it on to any 1 month sim only deal I was goign with on any network.
However am I right in that its only Vodaphone or EE that works with these in the UK? and NOT any of the piggy back (use others network, networks) like Virgin which uses EE network, Giff Gaff which uses O2s network, ID which uses 3 Network and Voxi which uses Vodaphone's network, All of which are way cheaper then the original networks.
Vodaphone and EE seem over priced and not offing 1 month rolling contracts.
£350 for the watch and £5 extra to run it a month ontop of a £10 phone bill is one thing.
Having to sign up for a £25 or £40 contract on top of the watch or being trapped in a 24 month contract is way worse... Also how hard is it to set up say if I get a good deal on one of these say on amazon or get a second hand one off ebay?

Hey, so I just wanted to know if there are any big differences between the gear s3 and the galaxy watch, I've been debating over the galaxy watch active2, gear s3 and galaxy watch, which do u think is the best? Last of all is it more worth it to get the 46mm or the 42mm watches?

Hey, is there any difference between the gear s3 and the galaxy watch feature wise? Because I'm thinking to either get the gear s3, galaxy watch or the galaxy watch active 2.
