Do you need an LTE smartwatch?

An LTE watch has its own mobile connection, so it can call, message, stream music and send SOS with your phone left at home. It needs a carrier plan, usually added to your phone line for a monthly fee.

LTE uses more battery, and support depends on carrier and country. Most models here also come in a cheaper Bluetooth-only version.

Frequently asked questions

Do LTE smartwatches need a separate plan?

Yes. Most carriers charge a monthly fee to add a watch to your existing phone line.

Can I call from an LTE watch without my phone?

Yes, once the watch's eSIM is active on a carrier plan. You can call, text and stream music with the phone left at home.

Does LTE drain the battery faster?

Yes. Staying connected over cellular uses more power than Bluetooth, so expect shorter battery life on days you leave the phone behind.
