This is great news. The other day I said to myself, "I really wish Apple would work on decreasing the Watch's battery life. It just lasts too long." This is the perfect remedy: adding LTE connectivity.

It already gets good battery life, never running out before bed when it’s time to charge the phone it’s an accessory to. Definitely room to enable me to get and receive some texts if I’m on a jog without my phone. Or make an emergency call, etc..

Yes, that was my thought as well. LTE in your watch... really? Why?
What I would like to see is wireless charging (over 5-10 meters) so I don't have to take the watch off at night. Or week-long battery life.
Sure, it sounds great to be able to take a run with just your watch and still be able to get calls or text, but this is way down on my list of wishes for a watch.

Well I hate to break it to you but you’re going to get LTE for conservative data sipping long before you get “week long” battery life.
