Galaxy Watch 3 LTE question - do I or should I have Bluetooth enabled?

[markyoung04]

Wanting to maximize batter life, and I do wander from my watch occasionally but not too often. I will run/walk/bike with just my watch so I do use the LTE - do I need to have Bluetooth enabled as well?

Sorry this is my first Samsung Watch so i am not familiar with the OS.

If you leave set mobile networks to "auto" and walk away from your phone it will automatically switch to the LTE network as long as your carrier activates the watch under their plan and assign your phone number so your calls will get forwarded when your away from your phone.

Cool beans - so I keep Bluetooth on and under mobile networks have it set to AUTO - I did successfully link my phone and watch so calls are forwarded to the watch when phone is not on.

Do I just ignore wifi all together since I have a cellular version? Trying to figure out the best possible set up to receive notifications/calls and yet not wear down battery.

Just leave wifi off and lwt it rely bluetooth and LTE only.

Thank you! Love the watch so far so nice to have flexibility after being trapped on the Apple platform for 2 years.
