Does a LTE display work on a GPS only watch?

"I just tried putting a display of an AW3 GPS onto an AW3 LTE.

I even tried moving the original NFC module of the LTE version onto the GPS’s display and ended up with pairing issues.

Was able to solve the pairing issues by using the display + NFC module from GPS version but had to sacrifice support for Apple Pay.

There is already a discussion about this topic here: Why won’t my watch pair after screen replacement?"

Putting a GPS only screen onto a GPS+LTE watch would obviously have problems, did you try the other way around? A GPS+LTE screen onto a GPS only watch? Thanks
