Steps
Check with your carrier that they offer eSIM for the Huawei Watch 6 and that your plan supports a wearable add-on.
Make sure the watch is paired to your phone in the Huawei Health app and both devices are connected to the internet.
On the watch, open Settings, then go to the mobile network or eSIM section.
Choose to add an eSIM or mobile plan and let the watch request the carrier profile.
If your carrier gave you a QR code, scan it with the watch or enter the activation code when prompted.
Follow the carrier screens to confirm the plan and wait for the profile to download to the watch.
Name the plan if asked, then set it as active for calls and data.
Turn off Bluetooth on your phone briefly and make a test call from the watch to confirm the eSIM works.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the watch on its charger during activation so a low battery does not interrupt the download.
Only one eSIM profile can usually be active at a time, so disable any old plan before adding a new one.
If the download fails, restart both the watch and the phone and try the carrier QR code again.
Questions
Can I use the eSIM without my phone nearby?
Yes. Once the eSIM is active, the watch can make calls and use mobile data on its own, as long as your carrier plan covers it.
Do I need a new number for the watch?
It depends on your carrier. Some share your phone number through a wearable plan, while others give the watch its own number.
Why does my carrier not appear in the list?
Not every carrier supports eSIM on Huawei watches. Contact your carrier to confirm support and get the correct activation details.
