Hi all!

I just found a deal on a refurbished galaxy watch LTE for $200. I've been wanting to replace my gear s3 frontier which is starting to show it's age. I'm a little in the dark regarding LTE models so I was hoping to ask some questions to the community:  


1. Do I need to connect the LTE model to my phone plan if I just want to use it over bluetooth? Or will it not function at all without an LTE connection?
2. I understand the galaxy watch was released 2018, Is it still a worthwhile purchase that I can expect to last as long as my gear s3 frontier has?

Thanks for any help!

Hi jediking, You can connect the Galaxy Watch with the mobile device via Bluetooth. When a Bluetooth connection is not available, you can remotely connect the Galaxy Watch to your mobile device by using your Samsung account via the Wi-Fi network. This allows you to continue receiving notifications from your mobile device.

A refurbished device will not last as long sadly. It was probably used for a year or two, or might even be a refurbished LDU. I'd avoid it
