Adam Kos Two Apple smartwatch models with LTE support are officially sold in the Czech Republic. These are the Series 6 and the Apple Watch SE. You can buy them from various sellers, but the only operator with which you can fully use them is T-Mobile. With it, the watch works independently of 4G LTE technology under the same phone number that you have with your mobile plan.
Connection
The oldest device with which you can use LTE in the Apple Watch is the iPhone 6S with iOS 14. You simply cannot pair the watch with an older iPhone. Pairing takes place via the Apple Watch apps, in which you also activate the Apple Watch Connection service. Multiple Apple Watch devices can be paired with one iPhone. You don't pair your Apple Watch with devices other than iPhone 6S and later, whether they're LTE or not.

T-Mobile states that it guarantees the functionality of the watch only for Apple Watches purchased in the Czech Republic, but in general everything should also work for watches purchased within the European market.

Amaya Toman Price
Price of a service Apple Watch Connection is CZK 99 per month. Customers who activate it within a year of the official launch of the service, i.e. by June 14, 6, will get the first three months free. The e-sim is not a physical card and is automatically downloaded when you pair the watch with your phone. T-Mobile is trying to get the most out of its first place among operators in supporting watches with LTE, which is why it has also prepared a discounted offer of watches as part of tariffs and extra subsidies.

All T-Mobile customers who activate or extend their current contract can take advantage of a special offer and get all Apple Watch models with a tariff discount of up to CZK 7. More information about the prices of the watch and the service is available website. It is therefore obvious that the operator is trying to drag the apple seller away from the competition with this action. Whether he succeeds remains to be seen. If they do, they will surely release a press release about it, if not, there will be silence on the footpath.

Vratislav Holub What will it bring me?
Apple Watch Cellular works even without an iPhone. So you can call from your phone number without having to be near your phone. You can also use the voice assistant Siri, stream music, use services that require a mobile connection and many other functions. You can use both iPhone and Apple Watch LTE at the same time or completely independently of each other – for example, during sports activities you can leave the iPhone at home and use only the watch. But then pay attention to the durability of the watch, which is not the same as in the case of the version without a separate connection. In addition, when you use GPS and sports activity measurement, the battery charge percentage will drop quickly.

Anyone who is not a T-Mobile customer, or does not intend to switch to it, is out of luck for now. However, the eventual success of sales and activations could sway the other operators who already know his strategy and could set an even better price. It is also possible that they are waiting for now thanks to rumors about the arrival of a new generation of watches, which we could expect already in the fall.
Do I understand correctly that if a person chooses a watch with LTE, he pays 99 CZK per month for the use of the LTE service plus a tariff from T-mobile for about 500-600 CZK per month? So, basically, as if he had a 2nd phone on call……..
Yes, it's just right, the tariff comes out to some 350 CZK
Hello, can I ask if, if I am not with t-mobile, I would buy a second e-sin, which I would upload to the watch, so if I can track the location of the mentioned watch? It's clear to me that I'm not relying on the watch, I'm just dealing with it to look after the child. Thank you
