Got my new S3 LTE Apple Watch — problems/questions :)

[profmjh]

1. Does the watch only attempt to connect to a cellular network independently if it has no other options? I see no cellular service unless I turn my iPhone off (or the watch is completely out of range of the phone) and the watch is out of range of my home WIFI.

2. Maps wasn’t installed on my iPhone so it didn’t appear on the watch. I reinstalled Maps on the iPhone and now the icon has appeared on the watch, but nothing happens if I touch it. Has it not finished downloading to the watch? How long will it take? Overnight?

3. Is it only Apple Music that allows live streaming to the watch? Are there any other apps that will do this? I’d love to be able to listen to other radio stations.

Well, I can only help you with part of your question. LTE will not connect until other options have been exhausted first. The iPhone, known WiFi, then LTE.

I use Apple maps so not sure what to tell you. If it has been installed again on the phone, maybe restart the watch to see if the settings will restore. It is not an app that you can install/uninstall on the watch but it will mirror the phone.

I only use Apple Music.
