If adding data to the Watch was free and just naturally extended to the wrist, it would be fine, but the added cost makes it hard to recommend the LTE version for this reason. It’s particularly galling that you need to spend between $5-$10 / £5 / AED 25 per month to have your data - that you’re already paying for - pumped to your device. We would question whether you really need the functionality – not least because you have to pay extra for it.

It's less useful when driving - the ambient noise makes it harder to hear what's being said - but it'll do in a pinch and save you from illegally grabbing your phone. In fact, it was so loud you’ll need to move quickly to stop people listening in.

It meant we could run pretty much normally and still hold a conversation without having to hold the Watch 3 to our head. The call quality from such a small device is really rather impressive – we conducted a phone chat with someone while running, and both the voice quality out of the speaker and the sensitivity of the microphone were excellent. You can disable LTE from the Control Center
