I have the 46mm silver LTE Tmobile version. The battery life depends on settings and use but here's what I'm seeing: Bluetooth connected with AOD on: 2.5 days Bluetooth connected with AOD off: 3.5 days LTE only (remote connection): 1.5 days So not great, but not bad either!

I own the 46mm version and believe the software and settings between the two are the same. it's running Tizen 4.0.

I noticed this too... wish I had an answer for you. Luckily I use digits on T-Mobile so I haven't needed call forwarding.

So I thought I read a pre-release article stating that the new Galaxy watch would use Qi charging technology making it compatible with our wireless phone chargers, but it still seems to only work intermittently. Anyone know for sure??

is the free band also for TMobile watch variants?

This is the BEST and MOST USEFUL comment on the entire Galaxy Watch forum. This saved me from giving up on the watch altogether. I can confirm that the above steps work to setup your watch with a non-Samsung Android phone, BUT it's a Samsung phone you need for initial setup. After going...

I can confirm that this works as well, BUT it's a Samsung phone you need for initial setup. After that you can opt to pair to a new Android phone but it'll retain the E-Sim profile download and work just fine.

One caveat here to your process... I think you mean to say you need a SAMSUNG T-Mobile phone for the initial pairing to get past network discovery and the e-sim profile download. I did what you said with a T-Mobile LG phone and it didn't work.

Nope, won't matter. You're on the right plan, the problem is with Samsung's software. There's another post in this forum where someone explains the issue well. I returned my Galaxy Watch and got the Gear S3 Frontier which synced perfect and works over the T-Mobile network with my LG G7 Thinq.

My experience is that it will work fine by Bluetooth connection, but you cannot connect to the cellular network when using other Android phones due to the software setup architecture. Someone else on this forum said they found a way around this after 8 hours of efforts. I gave up after three...

How do you download the "e-sim profile"? I'm following you except for how to do this step.

So you're saying that I can use a non samsung phone and still get the LTE radio to work? Do I still need to initially use a Samsung phone for the initial pairing then add a second non Samsung phone to the watch? I understand that the phones must be TMobile, but as I also understand it... you...

So I wish I saw this post before wasting 3 hours of my day and $50 restocking fee! I can attest that the new Samsung Galaxy watch WILL NOT connect to the T-Mobile network without using a Samsung phone. this is despite both T-Mobile and Samsung's websites saying that it is "Android compatible."

I'm with you, I'm not a fan of AOD but I LOVE that LG threw in an LED flasher... This is how I prefer to be notified of new messages.

I like whichever uses less energy and extends battery life.
