Apple Watch 6 cellular

[tls]

Hi, I have bought an Apple Watch series 6 with cellular. I am on an o2 £10 big bundle, my watch app is saying o2 does not currently support Apple Watch. Everything I read tells me o2 does support it. How do I make my watch cellular connection work if the setting tell me it isn’t supported. Any help is much appreciated.

PAYG is not supported.

You need to be on a monthly contract.

Thanks for the quick reply 👍
I hate being tied into a contract.

Unfortunately it's your only option with O2 as your tariff has to support wifi and 4g calling.

You could move to 30 day sim only?

I considered suggesting that but couldn't bring myself to do so looking at the cost of those tariffs.

I didn't look at the costs, just they are closest to PAYG while getting the watch working...

Hi, I have made the move and signed up to a 12 month contract at £8 a month with more than enough of the data/calls I need. It’s the same price as my previous tariff with GiffGaff but hopefully my watch will work! The 30 day sim only are quite expensive for the amount you get, in my opinion it’s not worth it.
Thanks so much for the replies, very helpful.

My thoughts too on the 30 day sims @tls 

Your watch will work fine on the tariff you have chosen but you'll still need to add the watch data plan at £5.00 per month too.
