Apple Watch Plan

[shamick59]

Does anyone know how quickly an apple watch plan takes to activate  Info given at store when we bought our phone plan didn't tell us we needed another plan for the watch to work independently.  We are going to Europe on Monday and want to get this going before we leave the UK but the plan has just been activating for the last 3 hours thanks

It should be instantly, but can take 24hrs to activate..  If it is still waiting to activate tomorrow then either pop into an o2 store or call o2 Guide: How to find help & contact O2 

I know mine activated straight away.  
If you bought the watch from o2 on pay monthly then they will only sell it with an airtime plan at £7 per month. 

Also be aware the Apple Watch is UK Only on o2

The Apple Watch does not currently have the hardware capability to work abroad or roam when the Watch is not in Bluetooth proximity of the Paired iPhone. This means the Watch data allowance is UK only.
