It has been years now and I am still waiting for cellular support for Apple Watch. Can we get a timeline on this, please? If not, then I think it's time to start looking at Vodafone Business, who have full Apple Watch support.

We are all customers here so we do not have access to such information.

The launch of anything like that would be a commercial decision and would not be communicated to anybody till just before going live

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

@Stu5 The only one here who may know would be @Chris_K but I don't know if he's on duty today. He will reply when he sees the tag at some point.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

It's the most absurd situation - particularly as personal customers have access. Backward that O2 don't support the latest technology.

When Enterprise customers ask for it, then adding watches to a Business contract wont happen, and as some one that manages enterprise devices, we have had 0 requests from C level down to add a watch to our service. and talking to peers across various enterprises the requests are between 0 and 1... 

 

I do hope they bring them to business accounts from SMB's but I cant see it..

I'm not asking for it to be part of the contract, simply for the functionality to work if you choose to purchase a watch. O2 are only carrier not to allow connection, utterly ridiculous for them not to support available technology.

You have to signup for a connection to the watch on o2 (EE and Voda are the same), so you have to add it to the contract, and pay a monthly fee. 

If the watch is key to you then move to EE or Vodafone, to avail of it,

Yep, as I say, ridiculous. Personal customers don't have to pay more, why should I?

No logical reason not to support.

But they do pay more @Philtheprint ?

To have the watch work as a stand-alone device you have to pay £5 per month for the watch data connection, so yes personal customers DO pay more!

And as @madasaf1sh says, both EE and Voda also charge for the watch connection...

Please note, this is not customer services and we cannot access your account. Do not publish personal details (email, phone number, bank account).

I think you are missing the point. O2 simply don't allow access full stop. Fee or not, when Personal Customers do have access. Absolutely no logical reason.
