A: I was wrong! You need a phone number and cellular service on a cell phone. The 2 year offer piggybacks n your existing phone number. So if you’re out of range from the cellphone then Google Fi will send text messages to your watch over their cellular service. So YES u need a preexisting phone number on a cellular service. Data is independent of your cell service. From Google Fi “ To use data and texting, you must set up and pair your watch with a compatible phone, and your phone must have an existing phone number and texting provider. Texting also requires the Samsung Messages or Google Messages app.”

Q: will this watch work the iPhone 16 pro max?
A: Aloha iPhone, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic is not compatible with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, as it requires an Android device for setup and optimal performance. It also relies on the Google Play Services, which iOS does not support. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to Support. Thanks for choosing Samsung! - Debra
A: The watch works perfectly fine without LTE. You just won't get stand-alone data/text services. BT will allow you to make calls, text, etc. provided you are within range.
Q: Is the battery replaceable by user?
A: No, you would need special tools or skills
A: Still unable to activate. Get useless email updates that say nothing. Supposedly this has been escalated to engineering but this problem never gets resolved. I think Best Buy should use its clout and step up to the plate and get this resolved. RIDICULOUS.
