Update to the new OS? It's not released yet, is it? How can they update to it 'fast'?

I also doubt they'll be losing many customers at this point?

I also don't understand why it's such a big deal, the watch is amazing, one of th ebest toys I've bought and I'm just wondering how it can be better with an updated OS!!!
It's like Android updates, I never see anything different.

Still waiting on Google to fix being able to use voice assistant to make calls/text/navigate etc


Having a "smartwatch" that when I say "Phone home" replies " sorry, I can't do that anymore" is beginning to really, really **** me off :(

Bought a galaxy active 2 4g for the missus, didn't realise Vodafone want an extra £7pm to use the data on your plan you already pay for, via the watch! Will be sending that back.

That's roughly what all the networks charge for the 4g watches. It means you can take and make calls on the watch without having your phone with you. It gives you an esim linked to your mobile number.

Yeah, that's why we bought it, so she can go out without the phone. I just assumed you esim'd it and it used your plan, with no extra charge. Can't really see why they need to charge. I'm paying already.

It's essentially an extra device with a sim so it has a small monthly charge for the extra line. As it can be used independently. If it was just connected by Bluetooth to the watch then of course there would be no charge, but you'd need your phone at all times. Apple watches are the same.
