My Frustration with O2 and lack of understanding of support for the 4G version of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3

Image
I have made a video  of how to connect to O2 or EE if that is where you would like to start.    Context I have owned both Samsung and Apple smartwatches since the first issues of both. I review tech on YouTube so know a little bit about this subject. My last network-enabled smartwatch was an Apple Watch connected to O2. Setup was straightforward. Query I want an eSIM plan to use with my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (4G version) and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. I am already on a phone plan with O2. Contact and advice Phone call – Screened as not urgent. They are only taking urgent calls during the pandemic. Advised to visit website www.o2.co.uk. What they do not know is that I always start with the website before I make contact. There is no plan for the Galaxy Watch 3 or information for the 4G smartwatch except for pairing. I decided to use the conversation feature within the MyO2 app. Conversation feature (a feature like instant messenger within the O2 app to talk to tech support) Cannot help with

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Review after 4 Days

Image
So I preordered my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 which arrived on 19 August 2020 and have put it through its paces for 4 days. You can look at my earlier blog for the unboxing experience. Initial impressions are generally very good. I have mine in mystic black because they do not do the larger 45mm in mystic bronze in my county. You can also get mystic silver. The RAM is increased to 1GB and memory is up from 4 to 8GB. I have made a review video that you can see here but the summary is; Battery life  - The battery capacity of my 45mm version is 340mAh, same as on the 44mm Galaxy Watch active 2 , but less than the 472 on the original Galaxy Watch. You will get 2 days of average use with bluetooth, location, WiFi (on auto) all on but with always-on display turned off. I drained the Watch 3 to zero and charging took 2 hours and 25 minutes while turned off. The Watch active 2 takes about 2 hours. This may improve as it was the first charging cycle. Activity  - I go into detail in my video rev

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3

 It is always exciting when you get a package delivered and you know it is your new phone. Well in my case it was my new Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra , a new Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and a set of Samsung Buds live . You should check out this video , which shows all 3. But you are all here for the unboxing of the Galaxy Watch 3. Samsung did not release the watch 2 following the original galaxy watch so there was great anticipation for this one. I went with mystic black instead of mystic bronze for the simple reason that Samsung chose to only do a smaller version of the mystic bronze at 41mm. I wanted the biggest screen size which was only available in Mystic Black. So I now have a phone and buds live in mystic bronze, while my watch is mystic black. I hope this helps you decide when you think of screen size. The other problem I faced is that I paid more for the 4G version but O2, who I am with for my phone contract, do not do sim plans for galaxy watch 3s. That is frustrating. I may have
