@alistairmck1  Yes this is correct as the watch has its own data allowance so needs a number of its own to access the network.   The number is also used for billing purposes.     If someone calls your phone your watch will also ring if your phone isn’t with you.   ( it’ll ring when it’s with you also ) You will need to switch on cellular data on the watch.   When your phone is with you your watch will link to the phone via Bluetooth so it doesn’t need to use cellular.

hi @Chris_B thanks for replying back so fast,  is it easy enough to redownload esim after a restore to get it up and running again

@alistairmck1   You probably need to call customer services as you might end up setting up a new tariff for the watch .
