Samsung Gear S2 3G Classic and eSIM: what to know

The Samsung Gear S2 3G Classic is a Tizen smartwatch and one of the first wearables built with eSIM technology. It works differently from a modern phone, though. Its eSIM is provisioned by a mobile operator in supported markets, and what you get depends on the version sold in your country. Some versions use a physical SIM instead, so check which one you own. We can't confirm how many profiles it can store.

Where to set it up: the process runs through your phone. Open the Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) app and look for the watch's mobile network or operator plan option.
EID: look in the watch's Settings under the device information. If it isn't listed there, your operator can usually provide it.
Travel tip: this watch generally can't install a standalone travel eSIM from a QR code the way a current smartphone can, so confirm compatibility before you buy.
Staying connected: keep the watch paired with your phone over Bluetooth so notifications keep arriving abroad.

For your trip, install an eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your compatible smartphone before you leave and activate it on arrival. Your main number and WhatsApp stay reachable, and the watch stays connected through the phone.
