LTE models do. However, LTE variants are not \u201cLTE-only\u201d devices, even if they are often labeled as such. LTE models still include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and rely on these standards in the same way as non-LTE watches.<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-real-puzzle-do-you-actually-need-lte\"><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p><!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>If the answer is yes, continue with the next question:\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-bluetooth-actually-does-on-a-galaxy-watch\"><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p><!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>In fact, you&#8217;d be surprised to find out how much you&#8217;ll be missing out on if you don&#8217;t buy an LTE model. Using only Bluetooth, your phone can rely on your smartphone&#8217;s connection and perform advanced functions such as:\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content list-content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p><!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-wi-fi-and-lte-actually-add\"><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>Wi-Fi is a secondary connection option. If your watch and phone are connected via Bluetooth, enabling Wi-Fi does not unlock new features. It helps a lot with fast app downloads and software updates.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content list-content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>It effectively turns the watch into a standalone communication device when needed. However, it does not add or improve anything in terms of fitness and health tracking and so on.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-galaxy-watch-variant-should-you-buy\"><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"core-content list-content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content list-content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you still have your phone with you, Bluetooth+Wi-Fi is a smart buy. You can rely on your phone&#8217;s connectivity for everyday use and save money in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>One last point: concerns about music on the go are often exaggerated. Galaxy Watches include built-in storage, so you can download playlists to listen to offline and leave your phone behind during your workout.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>Hopefully, now you can decide which version of Galaxy Watch is best for you. And if you&#8217;re in the market for a new smartwatch, the Watch 8 series is often discounted and Samsung has a new Watch 9 coming this summer.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"core-content classic-content\">\n<\/div>\n<p>                        <!-- Instaread.co audio player --><\/p>\n<p>                        <!--\/\/ Article Review Widget --><\/p>\n<p>                        <!--\/\/ Google Preferred (News) Source CTA --><\/p>\n<p>                        <!--\/\/ Article buy button (affiliate link) --><\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, an important clarification: Bluetooth+Wi-Fi models do not have cellular connectivity.
