Am thinking of getting a Galaxy Watch. Am currently with EE (business plan).

Don't want to buy the device through EE as it makes no sense value wise.

All customer services are offering at the moment is either to buy it through them (£21.60 a month over 24mths for an option I said I don't want!) or to get a sim only plan for the watch (£12 a month but then I have ANOther number I neither want nor need).

Does anyone have one of these on an EE Plan and is there some magical phrase I need to use to get sense out of customer services? I was under the impression an "eSim" could be added to my current phone account giving me the same phone number on the watch and a lower monthly fee... Possibly misguided?

Any opinions on the watch would also be gratefully received - will only wear it casually/when going for a bike ride/jog/walk... The rudimentary fitness tracking and GPS appeal, as does having a phone available without having to carry my actual phone. (Apple watches no use to me - dropped out of the Apple ecosystem when I got a Galaxy S3 and no desire to go back smile).

Big question, do you have a Samsung phone?

I've just returned my galaxy watch as a mis-sale as it wasn't explained that the "phone at home" side of things didn't work without a Samsung device (according to ee support).
For reference, I've got a Huawei P30 Pro

I do - an S7 Edge... Soon to be changed for a Galaxy Note I think... Just toying between 9 or 10Plus ("need" /want the micros slot).

“Phone at Home" might be the phrase I need smile
