will this work with verizon null

Absolutely! I purchased my Galaxy Watch3 from Best Buy then drove down the block to the Verizon store for them to pair the watch to my LG phone. Note that if your watch has the cellular feature as mine does, Verizon will connect the watch to the network ($40 one-time activation fee, $10 per month for watch line). Pairing and connecting to the network all done under 10 minutes.

There should be no reason why it wouldn't however Verizon is not activating mine on their network. So just for those of you who are contemplating, you may be better off going to Verizon and getting it there if you don't care about carrier lock. This being an unlocked watch it shouldn't have a problem, however I'm sure it's Verizon's policy so just keep that in mind.

Long story short, it should work, but your mileage may vary. Received my first unlocked Galaxy Watch3 unit from Best Buy on 8/8, but I kept receiving an error that my device cannot be activated on the Verizon network. I ordered right at launch and tried activating through both the Samsung Wear app and verizon.com with the watch's IMEI. The watch unit itself was indeed a functioning, unlocked LTE model and did not appear to be the reason for activation issues. I was on hold with Verizon for an hour, only to be told they couldn't help me unless I returned my first watch unit to Best Buy and bought another one from Verizon (which is not true). I then contacted Samsung phone support, where I was told that the IMEI of my unlocked and factory sealed unit was carrier locked to T-mobile. This could explain why Verizon could not activate my device (even if they didn't want to sell me a watch). Best Buy, for its part, was happy to order me a new replacement unit with no restocking fee. They aren't able to activate T-mobile devices in their stores, so this was likely a unit intended for a different retail sale location. I'll post updates on Verizon activation when I receive my next unit.

If you buy a GW3 to use with Verizon, GOOD LUCK. I bought two, one for me (AT&T) and one for my brother (Verizon). Except for AT&T's Numbersync, my GW3 works but my brother's been on with Verizon Tech Support off and on for 4 days (and counting). They've pretty much tried everything except human sacrifice but they just can't get the watch to work. The plan now is to return his GW3 and get one directly from Verizon, so prayers would be appreciated.
