![]() These costs are not high but they do exist.įurthermore, for now at least, the Apple Watch only works in the country you bought it in, there’s no roaming possible. And there’s the cost of a data plan for the Watch to add to your regular phone plan. Meantime, let’s not undersell the achievement Apple has managed in making cellular set-up very straightforward or the technical skill of letting your Watch respond with the same phone number as your iPhone – that’s pretty clever and makes the whole thing a much more seamless experience.īut it’s important to note that you still need an iPhone for the Apple Watch to work – this is still a companion device – even if it doesn’t need to be in the vicinity. ![]() I'll report back if I find any issues arise. Testing the Watch in the UK, on the EE network, I have to say I haven't had a single issue, which is not to say it didn't happen - and it is concerning. And there's no knowledge of how soon this release might happen. This is an unusual occurrence, stating awareness of a problem at the very moment that products are being shipped. ![]() We are investigating a fix for a future software release.' This has led to Apple stating in an email to The Verge, 'We have discovered that when Apple Watch Series 3 joins unauthenticated Wi-Fi networks without connectivity, it may at times prevent the watch from using cellular. I've heard from colleagues that there have been hiccups in their LTE experiences with the Watch joining unauthenticated wi-fi networks and thus not linking to cellular. And on Series 3, Siri can talk back, too, instead of simply showing her answer onscreen. I found making calls was easy and that call quality was much better than I’d experienced on previous Watches where you are dependent on the strength of wireless connection between iPhone and Watch as well as iPhone signal strength.īeing able to talk to Siri is a real bonus, instead of having to wait until you get home to the iPhone. The Series 3 with GPS (but without cellular) still lets you measure your run, say, accurately without your iPhone weighing you down, but GPS is not the same as mapping, obviously, and you need a data connection for that. The great advantage of LTE, then, is freedom and it’s a palpable benefit which I’m enjoying.
