Apple Watch LTE with Dual SIM iPhone

[ujjbd16]

There is a suggestion that Apple will be launching a new iPhone today which has dual SIM capability. Has anybody got any thoughts as to how this might work with the Apple Watch LTE in the UK where one SIM would need to be EE and the other from a different airtime provider?

What I’m wondering is the effect on the watch when you swap from using the EE SIM to the other. Does the watch then think it is not paired with a phone whilst this happens so no active data plan?

Thanks

I would hazard a guess it will only act like a WiFi GPS Watch we’re having now?

With a dual SIM phone both SIMS are active on a network at the same time, you don't turn one off and one on, you only need to select a SIM for an outbound call.

Not sure it will be an issue although we will find out soon enough

It would probably stay paired with whichever one you paired it with and wouldn’t know anything about a second SIM any more than it would a second physical phone, right?
