Hi @Bennett82

Welcome to the community.

Did you purchase it from EE or elsewhere? Assuming it's not from EE, you should be able to purchase a standalone watch plan through the 'Watch' app. This will link it to your EE mobile plan, if you're on contract and have a compatible iPhone.

Many thanks for assisting me apparently because I bought the watch from eBay I am unable to buy a watch plan to link with my I phone & to my current EE sim only plan. EE will only allow you to link additional products purchased from EE and not from other businesses.,retailers. Which I think is disgusting as you shouldn’t be forced by mobile phone network providers to have to buy products through them. As you either pay over the odds with upfront payments & locked into 24 months contract again paying for a device plan then additional cost for allowances

@Bennett82 Not sure why you think that, as you don’t have to get the Watch from EE, you can purchase from anywhere, including eBay and still link it to your account, and this is why EE offer Sim only plans for the Apple Watch starting at £5 per month for a 12 month contract or a £7 a month for 30 day rolling contract.

How long have you had your phone contract for ?
and you set this all up via a the watch app. if you want a 12 month contract at £5 a month, you’ll need to call customer services for this, via the app you can only take out the 30 day rolling contract at £7 per month.
