Check local Apple webpage, you can find if your carrier supports LTE.

Is there any device you can wear for hours also monitor blood pressure?
Got a tip for us?

Wait, what? You can’t install faces from another line? They’re wired to your model? How ridiculous is that.
They've got to squeeze a few extra hundred pounds out of you some way...
Yep. That and the official death of the 4” iPhone screen made yesterday a disappointing day for me. Oh well. I’ll get larger pockets and grow larger thumbs in the name of progress. As for my $500 watch band, maybe it’d make a nice bracelet.
wut.....sleep tracking on the watch is MUCH better than the fitbit.....perhaps you should buy one instead of making false statements.
battery life is 2-3 days wearing all night for me. not sure why you would need more than that unless you sleep in the jungle.
Except, compared to the original Apple Watch (10.5mm) the Series 4 is actually thicker at 10.7mm! This new form factor is in practice not thinner than the original form factor.
I never said they did. It's just not exactly a groundbreaking headline feature to have restored its thinness back to a level slightly thicker than the original watch.
Yes, but the new 40mm has more display area than the old 42mm:

I will buy the 40mm to replace my 42 or perhaps buy the 44
I will take a decision today.

And suddenly, when you look at those hands on pictures, the display isn't so much edge to edge anymore with that big bezels...
All of them are now live. Except the one with 5million complications.
Won’t work till Monday tho when watch os 5 rolls....!

There are numerous really good sleep tracker apps for Apple Watch. I have a Beddit, and (with the exception of respiration tracking) the Apple Watch apps give nearly identical results to the Beddit.
The battery life on the S3 is really good. It easily lasts 2 days. If you’re looking for more, Apple Watch isn’t for you.
With the additional functionality added by the App Store, the Apple Watch is an incredible device. For me it’s indispensible.
I think it’s more like, if you don’t want cellular, you buy the watch anyway and don’t enable it. Of course you’re still paying for the cellular radio, but it doesn’t mean you have to subscribe to a cellular plan.
I think having cellular is so beneficial when it comes to the walkie talkie app. I can see myself using that all the time. And with acrivities like snowboarding where my phone is usually hanging onto it's life because of the cold; my watch will stay nice and warm under my gloves and other gear.
The fall detector is interesting for me.
As a cyclist and motorcyclist I feel this could be a life saver for me.
Also as a homeowner who is frequently alone while on ladders.

Thanks for picking up my post
My carrier (Telia) was actually the first one in the world to roll out LTE for commercial use (Stockholm + Oslo), and as far as I know all carriers in Norway have supported LTE for some years now. So I’m wandering what’s ACTUALLY keeping them from selling the LTE Watch here (+Sweden). Maybe we’ll never get to know, but I think some info on the reason could help give an estimate of how much more we have to wait.
Looking forward for the early adopters to answer those other questions of mine though.
Why would you want 5 GHz (n or ac?) WiFi in the Watch? The 2.4 GHz band offers greater stable range anyway. What's the Watch supposed to do with 300+ Mbit/s WiFi speeds?
But the SOC on the S3 is 32bit and dual core to the new 64bit 6 core one on the S4. I would think the new complications rely on 64bit to save battery life more so than just mere scaling of the UI.
Forgive me but that’s pretty ridiculous. Spend $200-$300 more for a feature you don’t want in order to get the material you do. I’ve got a $500 watch band that won’t match a new AW unless I waste a buttload if money.
So how many nm is the S4?
I won't buy another cellular Apple Watch until it supports 5G, I think at that point cellular could become useful on it.

Ah, but does the Walkie Talkie work peer to peer WiFi, say if you are at a state fair, assume no cellular. If not, that is a fail by Apple if you ask me!

In the UK only EE has LTE over Apple Watch, seems like some carriers simply don't bother offering e-sim service for such devices. If there are other reasons I wouldn't know.
I bought the S3 cellular and have not enabled it yet, I figured it was worth doubling the storage. The watch is still way too dependent on the iPhone to justify an extra $120+/yr for cellular, IMHO.
As I have mentioned in other threads, you are paying more for MORE than just the cellular bands in the device. The entire casing is different, as is the front glass. MAYBE $50 of the price increase is for the bands (royalties + hardware).
