For an LTE watch to work properly in your lifestyle, you need to be using AT&T's NumberSync function or T-Mobile's Digits to sync with your main number. (I tried both, they work.) You don't want your smartwatch to have its own phone number, after all. The watch doesn't have a headphone jack, although it connects to wireless headphones.
