do you need to have the cell phone with you so the watch will work,

The Bluetooth functions of syncing your information and refreshing notifications will only work when you are within several feet of your phone. However, the time and pedometer will always function no matter where you are.

The watch itself won't be able to figure that. That would be up to the app that you have paired with it. If your app figures this information, is compatible with the watch, and offers a screen to display it, then it will. I know if you use the Wahoo Fitness app and a heart rate strap it will figure that information and display it for you.

This works good in usa just putting SIM card in phone. There is no need of separate cell phone. Watch itself is cell phone.I faced problem in India when i tried to use with Indian SIM card. This cell watch did not recognized India SIM in india but Same indian SIM card work well in USA on ATT network.

The watch links to the phone, so it doesn't matter what carrier you are using. It connects to the phone via bluetooth like a headset (but way cooler) just with more features.

yes. If you purchase the Smart Phone Call Handling App, the watch works in conjunction with your bluetooth ear piece and your phone. When you recieve a call, you are notified on the watch, ( with the app, you get an option of answer or reject w/message) and if you want to take the phone call, you accept on the watch, then it will automatically connect via your bluetooth ear piece.

Hello, no you must have a phone attached. Think of the unit as basically a Bluetooth speaker with a clock.

Yes, you do need a phone. Consider this a helper gadget. You never have to take your phone out of your briefcase, just look at your watch. it also can take pics,make calls read and send messages etc. When all is said and done you can certainly do without this, its mostly for fun.

The watch needs to be paired with a phone over bluetooth to work and get data.It doesn't matter what network technology the phone uses, as long as the phone has a data connection to the telecom network and the internet.

I have a T-Mobile non-data plan and the watch-phone works fine with it. The data plan would be a waste of money, because of the small screen. Text messages are easy to read. The camera is only a 0.3 mp, so do not expect good quality photos.

No, the watch connects to GPS independently. However, you will need to give it some time to connect once you are outside and have a clear view of the sky.

To use it fully you need a Samsung Note3 or S4 phone. You can use it as a watch only after its been synchronised with the above phones. Meaning if you where disconnected from the Bluetooth connection with the phone, you could use it as a watch if you have to, but you cannot use it as a watch on its own.

You need to buy a sim card to use this watch as a cell phone, actually this watch is a cell phone so you dont need to buy a cell phone to start enjoy this watch as cell phone

I haven't used it much, but yes the watch needs to be within a certain distance of your cell since it's connected with the Bluetooth

Negative. The watch already has a heart rate monitor. You can display real time info when using the exercise function.
