Hi! I am not sure if it was answered and I read a lot of posts possibly related to my problem and need clarification. 

If my All day and Always connected is off, bluetooth is on, and no wifi, will I be able to receive any txt msgs i get from my phone? Bc I only get them when I turn on my phone data or have wifi. Also, will turning on any of the above kill my phone battery or versa watch battery?

You will only be able to receive notifications if the phone is always connected to the Versa over bluetooth. I'm not quite 100% sure about having mobile data or wi fi but I'm guessing you'll need both internet connection and All day sync or Always connected enabled, simply because the Versa needs to have a constant connection with your phone. 

And yes, having data, wi fi, bluetooth, etc. enabled all the time will have an effect on the battery on both your phone and the Versa. It's not something fatal because if you think about it most of the leading smartwatches on the market will give you a total of 20 hours battery life and the Versa deffinitely beats that even when you drain bthe battery yourself with all of the features. 

 

Hope this helps at least a bit.
