I was in the market for a new running watch recently, and was kinda disappointed no LTE options existed. I'm very happy we're finally getting there, although pushing LTE down to the lower tier will take a while (I'm never going to buy a >1200$ smartwatch). LTE support will kill battery life if online full day without doubt, but if Garmin plays it smart by limiting it to activity (with per-activity settings, e.g. a run may need an update every 3m, a trek maybe every 15m), sending periodic pings if out of BLE/Wifi range, and activating it only on user request for features, I could very happily live with 8 days of battery life (instead of 11) and LiveTrack support while I'm running, at least I don't need to carry >150g phone on my arm for 1h anymore.
