What is the different between GPS and Unlocked in Samsung galaxy watch 5 44mm? null

Question

BT(GPS) requires a Bluetooth connection to an android compatible phone in order to make and receive calls/texts.

LTE does not have that limitation, and you can call from the Watch directly without needing a connection to a phone (assuming you are still in range of a 4G network, of course)

Both still have a microphone and speaker installed.

Unlocked refers to the SIM card installed in the LTE watch. Some 4G Smartwatches come with a SIM card locked to a specific carrier. Apple, for instance, makes a Verizon and AT&T version of their Cellular watches. Samsung makes their Galaxy line Unlocked, meaning you can go to any carrier that accepts smartwatches on their network and have them program the SIM card to work on their network.

GPS means it does locations, they all do. Unlocked means it has LTE and can be a phone without your actual phone being nearby

Unlocked means that you can purchase a data plan for the device - so you'd be able to do things that require an internet connection regardless of if your phone is nearby. Meanwhile a GPS only watch still can provide GPS without your phone (like if you leave it at home and take a walk, it can still track you) but it can't do the other stuff like take phone calls or receive emails.

I believe the GPS version requires a separate line and does not require the phone for many functions, like making calls.
