The O2 eSIM, Movistar's second brand, will be compatible with Apple Watch in October. If you plan to buy an Apple Watch LTE, you already have one more option to choose your telephone operator.
Two years ago Apple launched its Apple Watch series 3 with a great novelty. You could already choose between the conventional GPS model, and the LTE. The latter has the advantage that it connects to the 4G mobile phone network regardless of the iPhone to which it is linked, so you can leave your phone at home and your watch will continue to be fully operational with voice calls and internet connection. Due to the size of the device, there is obviously no physical place to insert a SIM card, so you need to register it with a virtual telephone card, eSIM calls.
Until the appearance of this Apple Watch model, there was no possibility of contracting this type of cards, since there was practically no device that needed them. The quickest to react were Vodafone and Orange, which had these virtual cards available to their customers since the launch of the Apple Watch LTE in October 2017. Incomprehensibly, a large company like Movistar was not so agile, and it took a few months to have them available. such technology for your subscribers.
All the Apple Watch LTE that were sold on Christmas 2017, for example, could only be connected through Vodafone and Orange. Now Movistar's OMV: O2 joins the offer. Although it already had eSIM compatible with iPhone and iPad Pro, starting next month it will also be compatible with Apple Watch LTE. Other mobile phone brands such as Pepephone or Yoigo have eSIM, but they are not yet compatible with Apple Watch.
Since the launch of the new series 5, Apple's offer has changed: the series 4 has been withdrawn, so if you want to buy a new Apple Watch now, you have the inexpensive series 3 and the new series 5, and both with options. normal GPS or LTE with connection to the mobile network.
If you choose it with a mobile network, from October you will be able to register it with Vodafone, Orange, Movistar and O2.
