Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and eSIM: what to know

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic comes in an LTE version with a built-in eSIM, and a Bluetooth/Wi-Fi version with no cellular connectivity at all. Only the LTE model can use an eSIM. It has no physical SIM slot, so eSIM is the only way to add a mobile plan.

Where to add it: open the Galaxy Wearable app on your paired Samsung phone and look for the mobile plan option under the watch settings (the exact wording can vary by software version).
EID: check the watch's "About watch" information in its Settings or in the Galaxy Wearable app.
Check support first: watch eSIM plans are set up through the paired phone, so confirm the plan you want is compatible with smartwatches.
Travel tip: set it up on Wi-Fi before you leave, and keep the watch paired with your phone.

If your eSIM Prime travel eSIM is compatible with your watch, install it before your trip and activate it on arrival. Your main number and WhatsApp stay untouched on your phone.
