I'm looking for a display on my handlebar for my dirt bike with navigation. (I don't want to use my phone) I was thinking of a watch vs. Traditional GPS or another junk phone. What's the best move? Trying to avoid connecting anything to my bikes battery

I’m a fan of Mounting my phone to my bike and tracking my rides

@lalhimpuiamahima7319 Год назад

I would buy cellular version simply because i hate bringing phone to my morning or evening run. Apple watch cellular + airpods will do the job.

@amineidrissi3957 Год назад

I have the same issue

How long does your watch last for on cellular?

@kittylolol439 8 месяцев назад

now I know what to buy! wow thanks!!! you covered everything i needed especially spotify ❤

@Joan6856 Год назад

There are two companies that I recommend that I know of if you don’t want to be locked into a contract and still want to take advantage of the Apple Watches cellular connectivity: there’s visible if you have Verizon coverage or wing alpha which I use works with Verizon as well but also supports AT&T and T-Mobile networks depending on the area that you live. Hands down these two are the best prepaid companies I come to love and enjoy. Except visible was not the right fit for me in my area, otherwise I love both.

@craigwoodgate7120 10 месяцев назад

I decided to get the LTE Apple Watch for when I’m out on my bike so that I can leave my phone at home so that I can makes calls or send messages and not risk damaging or loosing my phone

@Qwertz45927 Год назад

You didnt discuss airalo on smart watch. Can you use airalo on apple watch?

@chrisb3976 Год назад

Basically this video was "buy LTE" and not a video about choice.

@DwarfishSpy Год назад

Can you make a video on smart watches for people who’ve never had one before?

@dougiemac8417 Год назад

New subscriber. Man I’m enjoying your videos. So much valuable information. Greatly appreciated. 👍🏾

@shehkh 3 месяца назад

Does the LTE version work with 3rd party apps like Messenger or others for phone calls OR is it just limited to making/receiving calls only via the phone number linked to the watch? Thanks...

@Dato1K Год назад

Mike, where abouts in Australia are you heading to, and when?

@Burps___ Год назад

Where I live in Illinois (and I assume it's true throughout the United States), the Verizon charge for LTE cellular is $56 for activation fee ($35 plus taxes and surcharges), then $15.50 per month ($10 plus taxes and surcharges). I have an LTE cellular AW 7, but never activated it bc I like having my phone near me while running for photos. Important: All AW LTE Cellulars have free SOS 911 calling even if paid cellular service is never activate. 💙 This is a little know fact, and is the Federal law (if I device has cellular hardware, 911 must work). 🚨 Note: you were incorrect at 6:09 regarding this. Anyone interested, please google or AI search it for details.

@naveedahmed991 Год назад

Hi Mike, i am planning to buy a GPS enabled Xiaomi mi band 7 pro, will it give me the real time location when it is away from Mobile phone. as i want to give it to my sister as she doesn't carry her mobile phone along with her. buying objective is to locate her location.

@matavelli8338 Год назад

I would buy the gps + cellular, it is cost 320$, I found the series 8 only GPS (330$) for me make more sense to take de series 7 Cellular, is more usefull to me :)

@Ryan_Revier Год назад

I'm using GPS fully on my Apple Watch series 6.

@adamdaugherty9377 Год назад

Are you going to be coming out with a 2023 Smart watch video soon??????????

@pradeepsagar7938 Год назад

Can i just use apple watch without iphone?

@Arsalan_2210 6 месяцев назад

I have an apple watch Se 2nd gen LTE. In India you don't have to pay for a cellular plan separately for the apple watch. I pay like 499 rupees in india which is like US $4. I have unlimited postpaid 5G, unlimited calls and sms with apple watch connectivity and E sim on both watch and iPhone. Value for moeny aspect of the apple watch depends upon the region in my opinion.

4:25 can you use RU-vid music on Apple Watch?

@hex8052 7 месяцев назад

What’s the range on the gps? How far can you be from your phone and gps still work

@MatthewVlossak 3 месяца назад

For calls and texts if it's non cellular then bluetooth range is about 30 feet.

@Woodman-Spare-that-tree Месяц назад

You did not mention that if you are sick (eg diabetic or epilepsy) or elderly, you may want the safety of always being able yo make a SOS call on your watch.

@Zed.90 6 месяцев назад

I wonder why he didn't brought up the most obvious reason. With the cellular version you can leave your phone at the locker if you go to the gym. I go 4 times a week and just need the phone for music.

@dacemaric9677 Год назад

For now ultra is only cellula version :)

@quantx6572 Год назад

Great topic today, Mike. I always end up with a cellular model due to Apple's diabolical upselling tactics, but I appreciate the discussion about both models 😀

@daffo1179 3 месяца назад

i have the LTE version. in class or during the gym, i just completely shut down my phone. i pay 2€/month for something called “number share”. even if my phone is shut down, i receive my calls, messages, i can make them but instead of unlimited data, i have about 10GB of fast LTE for the watch. did i speedtest, over LTE it’s capped at 10MBPS down and up, which is more than fine for spotify and whatsapp for the watch.

@ambroziajewel 5 месяцев назад

The watch is supposed to use wifi if that is available and only uses the cellular if you are not near your iphone to use its cell service. It shouldn’t drain your battery unless you’re using it when you need to.

@JustinGrant Месяц назад

Visible supports Apple Watches and I think one of their plans gets you a free smartwatch line with service

@teddymarines8045 Год назад

Super informative!

@spede1 Год назад

Cellular (LTE).

I have to choose Apple Watch for birthday gift today u posted it in perfect time 😊😊

@MikeOBrienMedia Год назад

Happy birthday! (unless you mean buying for someone else's bday... in which case, please tell them I said happy birthday)

@mbbranches Год назад

Hello Mike. You say that we can answer calls with airpods. And with a diferente bluethoot headphones is it still posible? Thanks

@teenagecarlover1567 Год назад

I have the SE GPS/Cellular, and it’s 100% worth it! The GPS doesn’t work that well to connect to the Internet. And you don’t need a phablet all the time. “I said phablet since phones are almost as big as the older tablets now.”

@truthinc.5555 Год назад

You said "phablet" because you're old. 😉

@garethm3171 Год назад

If you regularly go running or something similar then yes the LTE version is fine but given that most people carry their phone with them then it makes no sense to pay the extra for the lte version and the BT is sufficient.

@jeremiehernandez2563 11 месяцев назад

100% correct.

@salehkurdi46 Год назад

Not really related, but should I get a used pixel watch for 100€ (I already have Fitbit premium) or a Galaxy watch 4 for the same price ??

@FrandChai Год назад

how used is the pixel watch, these things sell for 350 bucks (gps) 399 (LTE) so it being sold for 100 bucks seems like something is wrong with it or its heavily used, if thats the case i think going with the galaxy watch 4 would make more sense, if its brand new, if both are used and the pixel watch is in good condition I would go for pixel watch, both are good, im not really fond of either watches so take this advice with a grain of salt, its just logical advice instead of a recommendation.

@salehkurdi46 Год назад

@@FrandChai I think that it's almost new, I should also mention that I'll see it irl before buying it

@wizerdjuice9589 Год назад

Had the SE2 and returned it for the LTE model and the main reason is redundancy.

@jaihlanharris39 Год назад

Do you know Nate O’Brien? Just asking

@erictingkingco2746 Год назад

i only choose Cellular because of Titanium or Stainless case + Sapphire screen

@Drrck11 Год назад

My frank opinion: Do you really use your phone while on a run or working out? I bring my phone with me on a run, but I've never used it will on a run or exercising. But when I do get phone calls, I don't take my phone out, I use my watch during times when I'm busy.

@drsarmadqureshi Год назад

Hi What is the watch face that you have on your watch. Thanks

@that_Kanti Год назад

Hello Mike, can you do a hidden tips and tricks video for galaxy watches as well just like you did for apple watch. It will be helpful for galaxy watch users

@MikeOBrienMedia Год назад

I'm working on one right now 😎

@Isho-Gamer Год назад

1) But how does the cellular version work?- How can I enable it? 2) And do I need to pay extra to be enabling the LTE?

@MikeOBrienMedia Год назад

1) on your iPhone, you can open the watch app and easily configure it 2) yep

@davidrinmawia2959 Год назад

Nice watch

@murtazachaudhary3339 Год назад

Nice video.

@beazdakid1988 Год назад

Bro. I like the LTE option and I have it on my Series 7 and the battery life is horrible I don’t think it will last 2-3 hours. So to me for most people it’s not worth it. But if you have an ultra it might be worth it.

@jeremiehernandez2563 11 месяцев назад

Yeah the gps model last way longer with battery life. The cellular version drains the battery quick.

@farissaad88 Год назад

I am still unfamiliar with eSIM. Can the apple watch and the iphone share the same phone number? Or you would need to have a separate number and data plan for both devices?

@MikeOBrienMedia Год назад

Typically there is only one phone number

@spede1 Год назад

You get two numbers but your watch will 'ring' when they call your cell phone. The watch number is a dummy number and not used other than to link the watch and cell phone together. You need a separate data plan for both the phone and the LTE watch which is like $10-$15. You can use an LTE watch without having it on LTE and it will act like the GPS version.
