The Galaxy Watch LTE has gained support for one more carrier in Brazil. Claro has started selling the smartwatch in the country. Until now, the watch was available only for Vivo's postpaid customers. Equipped with an e-SIM, the Galaxy Watch LTE lets users seamlessly access network connectivity on their watch, without needing to have it connected to a smartphone. The watch shares the number and plan contracted for a smartphone.
Early buyers get 3 months of free service
To share your smartphone number and Claro Post plan with your Galaxy Watch LTE, you need to subscribe to Claro Sync. The service costs BRL 29.99 (~$7.6) per month. However, the carrier is running a promotional offer which gives 3 months of free service to customers who join the network and buy the watch before May 30.
You can sync your smartphone with your Galaxy Watch LTE at any Claro store. The pairing is done through the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone. The Galaxy Watch is compatible with both Samsung and non-Samsung Android smartphones as well as iPhones.
