LTE version question

[amyf27]

I have the LTE version watch if my phone is shut off or happens to run out of power before I charge it I don't see the ability to actually send or receive messages with the watch. It keeps trying to connect to the phone I'm wondering if there's a setting of missing cuz I didn't see one

Has the eSIM been set up by your carrier, Amy? Without that, the watch can't connect to anything but the phone.

Dont you also have to pair it with the Galaxy wearable app?

I don't mean to resurrect an old thread, but I'm pretty sure I read while setting up the watch that a Bluetooth connection to the phone is necessary to use Messages. I.e. it cannot be used independently of the phone (disappointingly!)

Pretty sure this is accurate. I recall reading the same.
