??? Just curious if anyone bought the LTE but with no intention of activating the cellular plan. Did you buy it for the glass sensor? 16gb memory? 911 capability?

200 Lossless Music. I think for lossy version, it can store 400 to 500.How much music can you store on the 16gb? The 8gb seems paltry in none lte, given the operating system takes up so much.
Never intended to use LTE but bought the Black stainless anyway. No regrets.
LTE is the only way to get the more durable saphire/stainless steel watch.
Not exactly. The Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) aluminum models also get the ceramic back instead of the composite back on the basic Series 3.And the stainless model is the only version to receive the ceramic backing versus the composite backing on the sport Apple Watch.

You don't need to spring for the SS or even higher-end AW models to get the more durable ceramic back.
To help create a sharper distinction between the two thus (hopefully) increasing sales for the LTE model. That is my guess.This. ^^^ You don't need to spring for the SS or even higher-end AW models to get the more durable ceramic back. $70 = composite back + LTE option + 2x local storage.*
* Putting 8gb of local storage of the wifi model, which cannot stream music, and 16gb of local storage on the LTE model, which can stream music, does not make sense to me. Does anyone have a theory on why Apple did that?

I don't think it's a matter of "Needing.", Tech enthusiasts are more apt in all the specific details about the Apple Watch, but the average consumer isn't making their decision or taking every specification about the Apple Watch literally as we do. It's a matter of picking between the sport model and stainless model, which they likely don't even consider the composite/ceramic backing, let alone even understanding the differences between what the are materials (Or care too).
Those (Mainly non-tech enthusiasts) interested in the stainless model, I would be willing to believe the majority are ignorant about the composite/ceramic/sapphire display for some, they simply want the stainless model because it's more premium (Weight, aesthetics, appeal) model over the cheaper aluminum model.
For example, for those who I have talked to about the sport watch, they don't even know what Ion- X Glass is, or even that the space black stainless watch has a DLC coating, those are the details nobody cares about. They just want what they "See and feel."

From a consumer 'we want all the features we can get' standpoint, it doesn't make a lot of sense. From a long term business perspective, Apple is banking on more people wanting a LTE-based watch, as it represents a more mobile cut from the iPhone. While the profit margin is not as high with the SS model, Apple is counting on the extra storage, LTE, and better app integration to boost sales of the SS model which in turn, puts pressure on the cell companies to lower their price if they want a piece of the Apple Watch action.Still, makes no sense, right? Is logic failing me?

This scenario may take another generation to blossom. If it comes sooner, I am ready. It is one of the reasons I paid extra for the LTE.

8GB or 9 GB afaik. But the peak amount I got before was 8.3GB.How many gb is that?
Be careful though, as WatchOS tend to slow the sync speed or halt the syncing altogether. I have yet to find an effective solution to restart syncing without resetting the watch or unpairing.Ok sold!!!! Thanks I've been looking for the answer for the past two weeks lol thanks!
That's how much songs I have on my iphone at the moment.
