I've only had this watch a few days. The ONLY reason I wanted this watch is for sending and receiving txt messages at work without my phone. We are not allowed phones at work so we must leave the phone in our vehicles.

I work near a major city and have a 3 out of 4 dot signal on my watch when out doors at work. When I go in the building it completely looses LTE connection.

Problem 1. When I am outside my work building with a strong Verizon LTE connection, my watch will not send txt messages. (It will make calls) When I get in my car at the end of the day next to my phone, It has no problems sending and receiving txt messages even though my phone's bluetooth is off and it has only a LTE connection. This makes no sense to me why it only works when I am next to the phone even though I don't have it paired with bluetooth. I leave my phone on all day and it has a strong LTE connection

Problem 2. It will not display ANY TXT messages or missed calls that happened when I'm inside with no signal. It will only show TXT messages received when I'm near my phone. How do I make my watch populate the missed txt messages? My watch is showing a lot of txt messages and call history that happened before I even owned the watch but after setting up the watch, it will not ever show a txt that was missed due to being too far away from my phone.
