Hi everyone, ok, I really need some help with this one, it’s like trying to work out some sort of complex unachievable puzzle..

Ok, so I’ve got my cellular Apple Watch working with my iPhone no problems on EE.

I basically want another watch which I can take out and not be afraid of getting it a bit more scratched up when outdoors etc, I want this new watch to also be cellular.

I’m aware you can’t have the same iPhone connected to the same watch number twice, so basically what’s the solution here, can you get a separate watch number and use that number independently and link it to the same iPhone?

I’m so confused here, I basically want two watches connected to the same iPhone, both cellular and the other one working with an independent number, ideally they both would have worked off my iPhone number but I don’t think that’s possible…

Can anybody help? Goodness knows how to describe this one to an EE advisor.?
 
Technically it’s possible as I have it on my Etisalat plan in Dubai …. Whether EE will
Implement it is another matter. Your watch sim is considered a clone of your main. I just pay for 2 cloned sims.
 
You could look into the Family Member Plans for Apple Watch. It appears to be a way to add additional cellular Apple Watches (linked to your own iPhone) to your EE plan. Note that each Watch will have its own separate number, only your primary Watch will mirror your iPhone number.

Some browsing the EE forums seems to indicate that, as you expect, there is no way for them to all share one number.

Also, the additional Watches will have their own allowances. It doesn't share data with your phone plan either
