It worked for me and I think is how it's supposed to work until they get a better solution.
The only "solution" is leaving LTE on (it can still connect via Bluetooth) and then turning notifications off for your phone message app. That way you only get texts on the watch through the message app (LTE) on the watch. Not sure if battery drain is less since it's still connected BT.
