Seamlessly Compatible: Unlock the Power of eSIM with Your Huawei Watch 3

Let's ensure it's not restricted to any specific carrier or network.

Open the Settings on your Huawei Watch 3 device.
Navigate to "About Phone" or "SIM & Network" (depending on your model).
Look for an option mentioning "eSIM" or "eSIM Information".

If these options are present, your device is likely eSIM compatible.

Alternative method:

Dial *#06# and press call.

If your device displays an EID number, it's eSIM compatible.

Please note, certain carriers may have policies preventing unlocking within the initial six months of use.

*Devices originating from China, Hong Kong, and Macao do not support eSIM functionality.

Huawei Watch 3 and eSIM: what to know

The cellular version of the Huawei Watch 3 has a built-in eSIM and no physical SIM slot, so it can make calls and use data without your phone nearby. How many profiles it can store is not something we can state with certainty. In practice, the watch eSIM is usually activated through your mobile carrier and tied to your existing phone number.

Where to set it up: open the Huawei Health app on your phone, select your watch under Devices, and look for the mobile network / eSIM settings. Availability depends on your country and carrier.
Carrier dependency: the watch usually relies on a carrier's "one number, two devices" service, so a standard travel eSIM profile may not install directly on it.
Travel tip: the simplest option abroad is to put the travel eSIM on your phone and keep the watch connected to it via Bluetooth for notifications.

With eSIM Prime, install your travel eSIM on your phone before the trip and activate it on arrival. Your main number stays active for WhatsApp and calls, and your watch stays paired.
