@F3lix If the watch takes a physical SIM card you can order a sim only contract or PAYG sim for it but it’ll not work in the same way as other smartwatches that EE sell as these are linked at account level to also ring/text when someone calls/texts your phone if you leave the phone behind. In this case you’ll need to forward the call to the number that’s on the sim in the watch. If it’s an eSIM in the watch then unfortunately you’ll not get that activated as it’s not supported.

Thx for reply @Northerner.
