Bought my watch at 8am on friday. Had problem activating and using cellular on friday and saturday. A level 3 tech called me back this afternoon to let me know it was working and tested it with me. Now fully working
Got my Series 3 on Friday, easy set up with Bell and pretty good deal compared to US, surprising. Calls work great with Phone turned off. Issues with messages not being sent, but the I got the new iPhone 8 plus and settings can be squirrelly with imessage etc.
Also when watch is connected on its own I am not getting the ability to stream from radio app on watch?
All in all very happy with watch.
[doublepost=1506307239][/doublepost]Only 5 bucks a month, first 3 months free. Works great for calls, especially with air pods!
Just a note: SMS/MMS text messaging requires that your synced smartphone must be powered on so SMS/MMS messages may be forwarded to your watch. iMessage must be enabled and your smartphone must be connected to the network via either a cellular or Wi-Fi connection. If using a Wi-Fi connection, your smartphone must have Wi-Fi calling activated.

Great Price, unfortunately I’m not with Bell. They’re family plan is more expensive than Rogers for me anyways.
Thanks again
Spent an hour with Genius Bar and they feel the Watch is faulty. I have had to order a new one and when it comes in return the first one !
Why didn’t Apple swap it themselves under warranty?! Why pay to order another just to return a faulty one? Confusing.
^That is strange. Any details as to why it wasn't working on cellular?
I gotta say, I don't normally purchase Apple Care + but for the past few Watches I have (I feel it's still a reasonable price at $65 CAD). Saved me last year when one of the watchOS updates bricked (well not bricked, but rendered it unusable) my Watch and AC+ allowed me to have an express replacement the next day. If it had been an iPhone or other iOS device we can use iTunes for restoring.
