Introduce

The LTE version of Google Pixel Watch supports eSIM, allowing users to connect to an independent mobile network, make calls, send messages, and use data when not carrying a phone. However, setting up eSIM on Pixel Watch in Vietnam is sometimes difficult because network operators do not fully support features specifically for smart watches. To help you easily activate eSIM, the following guide will explain each step clearly, optimized for beginners, and friendly with voice search and virtual assistants.

Just follow the correct procedure and make sure you have a valid eSIM QR code from your carrier or compatible eSIM provider. This guide also provides important tips to help you avoid errors during activation.

What is eSIM on Pixel Watch?

eSIM is an electronic SIM built into the device. The Pixel Watch doesn't have a physical SIM slot, so to use LTE, you'll need to register an eSIM and scan a QR code on the watch. Once set up, the watch can operate independently when running, working out, walking, or just not having your phone with you.

Prepare before installing eSIM

Before starting activation, you need to prepare:

Pixel Watch LTE version
Android phone paired with watch
Valid eSIM QR Code issued
Stable Wi-Fi connection
Watch has battery over 30%

Ensuring these elements helps the installation process go quickly and without interruption.

How to set up eSIM for Pixel Watch (step-by-step details)

Step 1: Open the Pixel Watch management app on your phone

First, launch the Pixel Watch management app on your Android phone. This is where you can control all of your watch's settings, including cellular.

Step 2: Access “Mobile Network”

In the main interface, scroll down and select Mobile Networks . If this is your first time opening the app, it may ask for some access permissions. Please agree to continue.

Step 3: Select “Add mobile network”

Here you will see the Add Mobile Network option . Select this to start the process of adding eSIM.

Step 4: Scan the eSIM QR code

Your carrier or eSIM provider will provide you with a QR code. Point your phone camera at this code.
If the QR code is not recognized, you can choose to manually enter the eSIM parameters such as SM-DP+ if available.

Step 5: Wait for the clock to process and confirm

Once the scan is complete, your Pixel Watch will automatically download the eSIM profile and activate it. This may take a few minutes. Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection and don't turn off your phone's screen.

Step 6: Complete activation

When finished, the watch will show that the mobile network is ready. You can double-check by going to Connectivity or Connections on the watch.

Important notes when installing eSIM for Pixel Watch

To avoid errors during activation, please pay attention to the following points:

1. The eSIM code must be valid

If you've previously activated your eSIM on another device, that code may not be usable again.

2. The watch needs to be updated to the latest operating system version.

Software updates help reduce eSIM recognition errors and increase carrier compatibility.

3. Some carriers do not fully support it yet.

In Vietnam, not all carriers support independent calling and texting. In some cases, eSIM only works with data (data-only).

4. Do not uninstall the app or reset while the eSIM is downloading

This may cause eSIM failure or profile loss.

5. If error occurs, restart the watch and try again

This is a simple yet effective method in many cases.
