No cellular option

Hi, I do not understand it well but I am trying to activate data on my apple watch. After a day I discovered I need an eSIM so I changed my normal nano sim to esim at my operator. Now I have no fyzical sim, only the esim. On my iphone everything is working. But the cellular option in watch app is still missing.

I do not know where is the problem.. :(

for the record: The watch are an cellular model. Iphone is a 11pro. Iphone and watch both has latest updates. I have an mobile data tarif without amount limit, but it is only 5mb/s (is that a problem?)

Am I missing some settings or something? 😏

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 7

Where are you located?

Where did you get the watch?

If you have a US model watch (the model number ends in LL/A) and you are not in the US, you can't get cellular service on it.

Ok, whatever. So it doesnt matter if i have nano sim or esim in my phone. Nice to know now, but never mind. I have esim for no reason 😄 cellular on my watch didnt work before and still doesnt work.

What i am missing with the data settings on my watch? Why is the cellular option hidden? I clicked option by option through a whole iphone and iwatch settings and didnt find anything. :-/

and cellular is available in our country. I really do not know what i am doing wrong.
