hi there.
got my S6 Titanium. My first Watch with LTE.
The watch is using LTE only when my phone is not in range. right?
should I still switch off the LTE by myself whenphone is in range or does the watch regulate everything ?

i ask because of battery drain

thanks!

NICE!! I'm jealous. I wanted a 6 Titanium, but went for an SE+LTE because I'm a cheap bastard. :)

As for the LTE... in theory the watch regulates itself. It till only "USE" the cellular signal if it has no bluetooth or Wifi connection. that said, I think the LTE being on standby may cause some battery drain if you are in a poor cellular signal area (I'm really not sure on this). From my experience, they handle all this automatically well enough where you don't need to micro-manage the connection. I suppose if you know you'll be home for a week straight, it can't hurt to turn off the LTE connection to see if it helps with battery life.
