Apple Watch Series 3 and T-mobile problems

hey there guys!

got apple watch s3 lte set t-mobile. , its....ugh not good. lte ridiculously slow! iphone works charm, watch problems. when leave phone , use full cellular, these 2 major problems.

1. hey siri or siri works 25% of time. bad lte i'm guessing? though i'm in excellent tmobile coverage area. lte on watch terrible. 1 bar or none sometimes.

2. sms flat out not work. no incoming, no outgoing. fail. (not fan of imessages)

so, else having these issues? not sure if carrier or apple.

 

i have at&t , watch has 3 dots or 4 of lte. sms/mms txts work without issue. challenge experience relating messaging when use siri send text. takes siri forever "send" text.

have issues siri when watch connected iphone via bluetooth or wi-fi or when using watch alone on lte? reminder siri needs internet connection.

note: can't receive sms/mms txts on watch unless iphone on , connected carrier.

maybe have bad watch, have had reports of signal issues reporting , replacement watch did not have same issue.
