Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 4G and eSIM: what to know

The Galaxy Watch Active 2 4G (LTE version) has a built-in eSIM, so it has no physical SIM tray. It is designed to run one mobile plan as a companion to your Samsung phone, and the plan is normally set up through your carrier rather than like a phone eSIM. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi-only version has no eSIM.

Where to add a plan: open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone and look for the mobile plan option in your watch settings (the exact wording can vary by app version).
Carrier support: watch eSIM activation usually depends on your carrier supporting wearables, so confirm this before travelling.
EID: look in the watch information in the Galaxy Wearable app or the watch settings, or ask your carrier if you cannot find it.
Travel tip: set up everything on Wi-Fi before your trip and keep the watch paired with your phone.

For trips abroad, an eSIM Prime travel eSIM is best installed on your compatible smartphone before departure and activated on arrival. That keeps your main number and WhatsApp available, and your watch can stay connected to the phone over Bluetooth.
