Platinum member - How do I get the free smartwatch "on us" and what is the catch?

I am a Platinum member and one of the benefits available to me is a free smartwatch, but I've searched the forum and I'm seeing that you have to pay $10/mo for this free smartwatch. I do not want to use the watch as a phone or have it linked to my Xfinity Mobile plan, so how do I avoid the $10/mo charge?

@karkrazy13 There is no way to avoid that $10/month charge as it will be linked to your Xfinity Mobile account/plan. You will receive device credits for the watch, but the service on it is $10/month. It's still a great offer.

@XfinityShawn​ So, there IS a catch.  I can only get the free smartwatch if I link it to my Xfinity Mobile account and pay $10/mo.  Got it, thank you.

Does this only apply to Apple Watches or could I get a Google or Samsung watch?

@user_hgoc1j​ As already stated, you do not. It is required to be with Xfinity Mobile.

@user_hgoc1j​ You can't. You have to have an Xfinity Mobile plan to qualify for the "free" watch. Not a good deal at all.
