Yesterday, I had LTE on (along with bluetooth and wifi). Took it off the charger at 6:30 am. The watch was dead by 10 am. It does not prioritize connections so LTE will continue to burn the battery even if you are connected to wifi and bluetooth. Connections are also a nightmare while using an...

FYI - For those that will be using this watch on Verizon. Verizon uses Message+. This is a massive pain (especially on the iPhone). Messages do not transfer over to the app properly. Also, the SIM will be a data only SIM so ALL LTE voice calls will use your data. The voice portion of the SIM...

All - Just picked up the watch off eBay. It is the Google Store version. I took it to Verizon to get everything setup. Here are my issues: 1. Watch has LTE but no voice or text. Apparently the SIM was from a tablet and is a "hot line" for voice which means it is blocked from having voice...

Forgot to mention - using an iPhone 7 with (as you probably guessed) Verizon service.

Just called the store and they refuse to sell it without a plan or unlock it and that the watch is indeed locked.

How did you get AT&T to unlock it?

Would I just take the watch from AT&T over to Verizon and have them give me a SIM? I thought they used different network types.

Placed my order on 2/11. Estimated arrival date 3/16. After multiple calls yesterday to see where the watch was (as they had not given me a tracking number) I find out that it never shipped. I was told by 3 different people it was out for delivery. NOW, the SHIP date has moved out to 4/13. This...

You cannot. There are radios of some sort built into the bands.

My pre-order says it will ship tomorrow but I'm curious as to whether or not anyone has actually received anything from Verizon via a shipment or in-store.

Maybe I'm missing something but LTE only works with AT&T and Verizon - no T-Mobile.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. "You Failed It"? Lol. Please. Going for a run without your phone while listening to music is what the watch is designed for.

Thanks for this review. Your usage is EXACTLY how I would use the watch. However, I think Verizon still has some issues with this unit as they have not officially released it yet and were not prepared for the Google store orders. I have it pre-ordered and will wait until the official arrival...

I guess. Still, there are many many other non LTE GPS/Bluetooth watches. Not many AW 2.0 at this point but those will be everywhere soon. The sole reason this watch is so big and chunky is the SIM card slot/battery size. The battery wouldn't need to be this size if not for LTE.
