Apple Watch esim

My eSIM won’t connect to my Apple Watch series 9. Worked for years in my Apple Watch series 6

All the info and related Watch pairing error codes here Activate Apple Watch Guide @Jameal - see if that helps you get to a resolution.

Thanks. I followed the steps as mentioned and chose to move existing plan to new watch.

this was 5 hours ago. My watch says no sim and app on phone says “activating sim” with a spinning wheel

As in the guide:

It can take up to 24 hours to activate, but sometimes it might take a little longer.

To check if your new Airtime Plan is active, open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap on ‘Mobile Data’. In the ‘Data Plan’ section, if you see O2 with the word ‘activating’ then you’ll have to wait a little longer for set up to complete.

If you see O2 with an orange ‘i’ next to it, then you’re all set up.
