I really want a smartwatch with proper always on screen (so memory LCD, like those COROS ones), but I also need LTE so I don't have to bring my phone on short errands. Unfortunately no such product currently exists for some reason.

The Apples, Galaxies and Pixels offer always-on, but they dim down a lot in order to not drain the power, which kind of defeats the purpose. A memory LCD screen on one of these watches would be perfect for me.

Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE launched four years ago, and it has LTE plus an always-on screen.

It has LTE but apparently does not support phone calls or SMS, without being paired to a phone. Close, but not quite there.
