[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:


Given the minimal difference in price, I recommend getting the LTE version because it gives the option of not being tied to a cellphone. To do so requires adding a line, but without it, you can still use it over Bluetooth/WiFi. Even if you don't think you need LTE now, it's better to have the option and not use it, than to not have the option and want it later.

There is no Google Voice app, but most of the flexibility GV allows for is still applicable. For incoming calls and texts, just add the watch line to your list of call forwarding numbers and setup voicemail. Outgoing calls are a little trickier if you want to preserve caller ID. The GV prescribed number must be saved in contacts and used when initiating calls. While setting this up is a hassle, it only has to be done once. The other alternative is just live with it- let your second number be revealed or initiate calls through your cellphone. If you're like me, incoming calls greatly exceed outgoing calls so it's not a big problem.
