Good News for Galaxy Watch 3

Just been looking at the Samsung Members App and under the watch 3 is this nice bit of news... 

Looks like o2 will support the watch 3 from the 4th September....

Because the device can connect to Wi-Fi networks, so you don't need to have your phone.

The 2 devices look exactly the same just different insides, its the same as the Watch 3, both variants look exactly the same, the only difference is the model number.

As i said o2 dont support the Galaxy Watch 4G, and if you could the only way to do so is via the Wearables App.

I have a Galaxy Watch 4G (unlocked) and it wont connect to o2 either, it will only connect to EE or Vodafone.

It was just causing confusion as yours is not the watch 3, but no need to post another thread as the answer will be the same now it's clear which watch you have.

Unfortunately, it isn't going to work with O2. You'll need to switch to a network that supports the watch 4g.

@madasaf1sh  (and) @MI5   OK, that seems to be the answer then, that the Galaxy Watch 4G is not supported on O2. It just seems silly that it isn't - what can the difference be?! It still contains an esim that would surely work exactly the same as the esim in the Galaxy Watch 3?!! What exactly could the difference be that means O2 can't support the Galaxy Watch 4G?! It just seems crazy to me.

@MI5  Sorry I posted in the wrong thread, but hopefully this will help anyone else who is possibly having the same problem?!

Thanks again for all the replies.

No worries @Ianipswich and sorry it's not the answer you hoped for.
