Bro holy shit, had my watch for 2 years---paid for cellular access the entire time but was too dumb to fix it. You got me right within 30 seconds. Have my sub king
Was having issues getting my new watch connected to cellular. Turning Bluetooth and WiFi off on both devices . Turning on cellular . Worked for me ! Been searching all day. Thank you ❤
Hello, I have to push the airplane mode in, then I get 4G connection. But when I go to walk and leave the phone on with connection the watch don’t have 4G. So I have first to push airplane mode before to go out. Is this normal? Great vid!!
Thanks for the compliment! Bottom line is that when your watch is connected to your phone via Bluetooth or to WiFi when you’re at home, it won’t activate 4G. When you turn airplane mode on it turns those off usually. So to ensure that the 4G works make sure your phone isn’t connected via Bluetooth or WiFi and then the 4G will turn on. I hope that helps!
Hmmm.. I’d say, make sure iMessage is turned on in the watch settings and set to the correct number and that cellular is connected. Restarting the watch as well, turning off the WiFi and Bluetooth in settings as well to ensure it’s not interfering. Also remember that the messages arrive at a delay, not much more than 1 minute max, just like how calls incoming are slightly delayed something to keep in mind. Those are the tips I usually run through to get it working
Sometimes it takes a few cycles for it to work right. Make sure the watch was paired correctly and the Cellular plan activated. If you’re sure on that then do this. Make sure you have the WiFi and Bluetooth off in your watch settings. Then navigate to your watch Home Screen (aka your clock, check the time lol). Once you’re there, swipe up (or down depending on your watch OS version), and tap the cellular icon that’s most likely greyed out. After you do that, you should make sure the cellular data switch is on and you should see your watch saying connecting eventually it’ll connect. As soon as that happens you can go back to your watch face again and swipe to the control panel to see that the greyed cellular icon to be green on LTE/4G. Say it isn’t, repeat that cycle a couple times and it should eventually connect if all is right as I said in the beginning of this comment. Let me know what happens!
That’s normal. It’s not lightning fast because it’s forwarding the message to your watch from your phone’s number. If you’re not convinced you can restart both devices, it could make a difference.
Do you have a watch?
Yes I do have a watch

If I did stand alone mode (family share) would my number on my apple watch change?

My watch disconnected from the phone and it will make phone calls but it will not send or receive messages. Any tips?

You're welcome!
I tried on both my phone and watch separately and it’s still not connecting.

So can I just select data when setting it up without the iPhone
No you have to have a phone to setup any watch
Question,, how come when I get a text on my iPhone ,, I don’t get it right away on my Apple Watch Ultra 1st Gen ?
That’s normal. It’s not lightning fast because it’s forwarding the message to your watch from your phone’s number.

Has anyone successfully hacked the apple watch so it will work on unsupported countries?
