A:AnswerIts connects to your phone via bluetooth. So the notifications are sent to your watch because it is mirroring what you get on your phone. You don't need to have your phone on you at all times but you need to be within reasonable distance for it to work. If you're too far away, your phone will make call your watch, which is actually very convenient for theft or loss.
A:AnswerHello Natalie, great question! This watch model only has Bluetooth connectivity. Samsung smartwatches are available in two versions: Bluetooth and LTE. The LTE version can receive calls and messages without being connected to a phone. However, you'll first need to activate service for your watch through the same carrier as your mobile phone. Don't worry, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon all offer plans for the LTE versions of Galaxy Watch and Gear S3. Plans and connection method may vary depending on the carrier. ^Elizabeth
