Google Pixel Watch 3 LTE and eSIM: what to know

The Google Pixel Watch 3 LTE is a cellular smartwatch that uses an eSIM. It has no physical SIM tray, so mobile service is set up digitally through a carrier plan. The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-only version has no cellular connection, so make sure you own the LTE model.

Adding a plan: start in the Pixel Watch app on your paired phone and look for the mobile network or mobile plan option. On the watch, check Settings under Connectivity. Exact menu names can vary with the software version.
Finding the EID: it is usually listed in the watch's Settings under System > About. Have it ready if a provider asks for it.
Travel tip: a watch normally stays linked to your phone over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so set up the eSIM somewhere with a stable connection before you leave.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install it before your trip and activate it on arrival, while your main number and WhatsApp stay on your phone. Check that the plan supports smartwatch use before relying on it for the watch.
