The LTE and Bluetooth models of the Galaxy Watch 6 are the same in every aspect, although the difference is that the LTE model is equipped with an eSIM that enables cellular connectivity. As a result, the LTE model is a standalone smartwatch that can make and receive calls, and receive and reply to messages independent of a smartphone. Meanwhile, the Bluetooth model can also make and receive calls, but it requires your phone to be nearby to do that. so LTE needs a separate service but can be stand alone where as BT only needs a device/phone that already has service.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The term "carrier GPS" refers to the type of GPS used by the watch. There are two types of GPS: standalone GPS and carrier GPS. Standalone GPS uses its own satellite network to determine your location. Carrier GPS uses the satellite network of a cellular carrier, such as AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile. The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Aluminum Smartwatch 40mm BT - Cream has a built-in GPS sensor, but it does not have carrier GPS. This means that it can only use standalone GPS to determine your location. If you want to use carrier GPS, you will need to purchase a model that is specifically designed for that carrier. The watch is not carrier locked, which means that you can use it with any cellular carrier. However, if you want to use carrier GPS, you will need to purchase a model that is specifically designed for that carrier.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Greetings Jane, thank you for finding the free time out of your busy day to ask us your question about the Samsung Galaxy Watch6. What you are referring to is a drop-down menu. The advertised version of this product is for a Bluetooth version of the Galaxy Watch6 that does not require a carrier to provide service to the watch. It does, however, require a paired Bluetooth connected phone in order for it to be fully functional so that you can see just how awesome the Galaxy Watch6 truly is. Let us know if you have any additional questions for us by reaching out to Samsung Support. Thank you for being a dedicated Samsung customer. - Debra
