My only problem with the watch is that it keep saying sim card removed and that it overheats. What i learn from other's is that T-Mobile has the watch listed as a "phone" and not as a watch. The problem with that is the amount of power from the cell towers that get sent to the watch. It makes it overheat.

lol thats not how it works..its pulling in the exact same signal your phone is..it’ll overheat however with a lack of signal seeing as how the watch or phone would need to keep searching over and over for a signal.
