A 4G LTE or cellular connection on a smartwatch is a surprisingly useful feature. It can stay connected to the world without a tethered phone and power music streaming, messaging and calls, and emergency features. Many smartwatches boast LTE connectivity, but which are the best for your budget? We round up the best LTE smartwatches you can buy below.

Before splurging on an LTE smartwatch, do you really need cellular connectivity? If you constantly have your phone on your person and tethered to your smartwatch, you likely won’t require an LTE watch. However, you might occasionally leave your phone at home or require a secondary emergency device on your wrist. If you’re in the latter camp, an LTE watch might be for you.
