I'm sorry, but I kinda wanna call BS on this. The Verge review even admits that the connection issues were happening when the watch connected to a Wi-Fi network that they had connected to before. That's not really a reflection of the LTE connectivity, only a reflection that the watch can't connect and use Wi-Fi networks that require a captive portal where you can't sign in without your phone first. It seems really disingenuous to me for them to openly conflate those 2 things as a problem with the LTE connectivity.
- mikestew 9y agoHi, Joe User here! Just got my new Apple Watch 3! All I can tell you is that when I walk into a Starbucks, the music on my watch quits streaming and I can’t send texts anymore. Point is, you and I might know the nitty gritty, and so does the reviewer, but Average User just sees that “always connected watch” isn’t when they go to Panera. Is it BS to conflate the two? Eh, maybe. You want to drill to the specifics, whereas the reviewer is taking a more macro “general connectivity” view. I mean, they’re not wrong: if I’m connected to a “broken” wireless network, LTE is hosed as well. One can be forgiven for not expecting that to be the case.
