So i have Gear S paired with Samsung S4. The gear s is on Tmobile and the S4 is on verizon. I am thinking of getting rid of the Gear S tmobile plan since I never use the data portion enough to justify it.
So what i can't figure out is:
1. Does the Gears S need a data plan to use the GPS on Nike +? I can't seem to pull up the map of my run when i deliberately turn off data. Or does GPS work but no map w/o data? how do i know when GPS is used and not step counter?
2. I don't mind taking my phone with me when i run. Aren't the app on the phone suppose to work in conjunction with the app on the watch. I was expecting to be able to start the run on my phone app and see the stats on my watch, but that is not the case?
3. If I don't have a data plan, if i have the watch connected to the phone, shouldn't the watch be able to use data connection from my phone to power GPS/map, etc.?
