Seamlessly Compatible: Unlock the Power of eSIM with Your Xiaomi Mi Watch

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

Open the Settings on your Xiaomi Mi Watch 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.

Xiaomi Mi Watch and eSIM: what to know

The Xiaomi Mi Watch is not a reliable choice for a travel eSIM. The international versions are Bluetooth and GPS watches without a cellular modem, so they have no eSIM at all. An LTE variant with eSIM was sold only in mainland China, and it works through selected local carriers rather than with independent eSIM profiles.

Check your model: look at the box or the watch's About/device information. If it does not mention LTE or eSIM, it has no cellular function.
Setup: on the China LTE version, eSIM is set up through the Xiaomi companion app and a supported carrier, not by scanning a QR code from a travel provider.
EID: only eSIM-capable models have one. If your watch does not show it, it does not support eSIM.
Travel tip: your watch stays connected to your phone by Bluetooth, so the phone's mobile data is what keeps notifications flowing abroad.

For your trip, install an eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your eSIM-compatible phone before departure and activate it on arrival. Your main number and WhatsApp stay available on your usual SIM.
