LTE Question

[Pagemakers]

If you want durability, you may want to look at the Space Black. Two+ years with my S0 and not a mark.

Currently I have the grey/black S0 sports and the screen is scratched and the aluminium case scuffed (to silver).

I’d like to upgrade to black stainless steel, sapphire but LTE is of zero interest. I guess if I upgrade I’ll go for LTE and not enable it. Crazy situation.

Yeah, Apple really didn't give anyone a choice this time around - if you want a Stainless Steel watch, you get GPS+LTE. I think likely, both will be standard on the next generation of Apple Watch (they'll have to come up with a new differentiator for the premium models).

From what I'm gathering - I'm able to buy a S3 SS Apple Watch and skip the cellular activation? Just use my S3 SS AW with BT/wifi. This is what I'm probably leaning towards.

Yes, that’s fine... it’s not necessary to use the LTE part of an LTE watch, but obviously people would rather not pay extra for LTE hardware that they aren’t planning to use.

Word. Been eyeing the Hermès watch for for about two years now, still on S0. I've always wanted the Hermès but its just unfortunate that Apple is only selling the SS in LTE only. Otherwise I would've gotten the SS non-LTE version.
