Galaxy Watch 6 and eSIM: what to know

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 supports eSIM only in its LTE version. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi-only version has no cellular connectivity. The LTE watch has no physical SIM slot, so its cellular plan is an eSIM profile that is linked to your paired Samsung phone and your carrier.

Where to add it: open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone and look for the mobile plan options (Watch settings > Mobile plans).
EID: check the watch's "About watch" information in the Galaxy Wearable app. Your phone's EID is shown when you dial *#06#.
Carrier support: watch eSIM plans are normally activated through a supported carrier, so check availability before you travel.
Travel tip: keep the watch paired with your phone over Bluetooth so notifications keep arriving abroad.

For trips abroad, install your eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your compatible phone before departure and activate it on arrival. Your main number stays active, and WhatsApp and calls keep working, with notifications forwarded to the watch via Bluetooth.
