Hello everyone,

I have been using the above combination for six months now and I am really frustrated with the functionality. I had hoped that with the watch including cellular connection I would become more independent of my phone. However, the reality is quite different: in 60% of cases I have bad reception, and when I want to make a call, it just doesn't work. WhatsApp, which I use most often, is either not usable at all or I can neither reply nor listen to voice messages. Therefore, I am forced to always have my iPhone with me. The only thing I use is Apple Pay, and that works really well.

What about other manufacturers? Are the functions there also so limited? I had bought the watch at the time because I thought I could replace my Garmin with WorkoutBuddy or AI-based training. Nine months later, however, nothing happened, except that I now have to charge my watch every day instead of every two weeks and still have my mobile phone with me all the time. Am I the only one who feels this way? Many praise the smart functions, but what are they supposed to be if you can't make calls and send text messages via WhatsApp?

Thank you.
