No eSIM means no independent communication in mobile data traffic, i.e. no LTE, e.g. for S-health application or Whatsapp, music streaming unless you are of course in a W-LAN and no calls/SMS. But you have GPS for tracking - I just don't know how it works with navigation. For me, eSIM would mean that I could always leave my smartphone at home because messages and calls could be made.

To both questions in a nutshell "yes" ;) You can answer calls with the watch and also see messages as long as it is connected to your phone. Regarding multiple devices, you can connect an additional device, which is then also connected as a "headset".

Samsung only sells this watch in silver and black. I have also seen it in gold for about 700 francs, but as far as I know, rose gold is not available.

There is no app for gmail. But mails, WhatsApp and the like can be read and answered via the notifications.

Hello, so the watch is great. As far as I know, the watch is made of stainless steel and mine has the silicone strap, but the bottom is made of glass or plastic because of the induction charging. Mfg Normen Büchner

Hello Sventyp91 The watch has 4 GB of internal memory. For streaming services, at least a WLAN connection must be available. Samsung writes about this in the following link: http://www.samsung.com/ch/consumer/mobile-devices/wearables/smartwatches/gear-s3/experience/?cid=de-ch_email_newsletter_newsletter-december-sim9240_20161230_3ab---songs-to-go---cta&sci=68241063&listid=1369&m_i=rEIPtG8QRhwTqMI2AeoPkNGW41pROOYt462LdMTLDcUtf48SwfhyPmpRJ6Q1jqi0%2B8DwhXwmYjWrkxHpk7z83kV0uPFJWY

As far as I know, that doesn't work.

Must be a typo

Samsung had a power failure. That's why SSDs have also become more expensive.

Digitec's prices have been rather high for years. Many products are above average compared to other providers.

I have exactly the same problem. But no answer.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the EU model right now. But normally we offer the EU model as an alternative to the CH model, due to better availability. The functionalities are identical. The only difference is the charging cable, depending on the model.

Sounds stupid, but have you ever tried rebooting? Hold down the power button until you see rebooting? The Samsung app on the latest update? Restarted the watch? Turning off the power saving mode should not be a big deal. I've been able to turn it on and off on my phone and Gear without any problems.

I'm afraid I can't say. I don't know that.

No.

The watch does not have a SIM card. Therefore, the mobile phone must always be in the vicinity (Bluetooth connected) so that you can read / write messages.

Only the wireless charger.

Yes, only the automatic calibration of the altitude requires an internet connection via the mobile phone or WLAN.

no the watch can only be paired with a mobile phone ... otherwise you would get double notifocations ... and via which mobile phone should it start the call when you call up such a function ... --> such problems must not occur, that's why it's not possible and doesn't make much sense in my opinion !

According to the description, the watch has an IP68 rating, which according to [1] means "is "dust resistant" and can be "immersed in 1.5 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes". In other words, it is water resistant (up to 1.5 metres and 30 minutes). [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code

Yes, as long as you download the samsung wearables app.

Yes, it works. It works perfectly. I have this watch too. The S2 model also works. I am attaching a video link so that you can see it. https://youtu.be/s1XPyUFJYC0

In possession of an Iphone 5SE. Samsung applications on the Apple APP store. Not bad, but the costumizations are often in German.

yes, you can make calls without a mobile phone only with a sim card.

Unfortunately not, as it is a Samsung label!

You can only listen to Spotify and Samsung Music via Bluetooth and you can also transfer songs from your phone to the Gear to listen to them offline on the Gear afterwards.

works with Galaxy S8 and S7 without problems am very satisfied

I'm sorry, I don't have a solution to that either.
