Tesco mobile service in UK is a virtual provider reselling on the O2 network. Tesco is not listed as providing cellular support for Apple Watch.


A GPS model Apple Watch will work perfectly when paired to an iPhone on the Tesco service. If you get the GPS+Cellular version you would be unable to activate the standalone cellular function on there Tesco network, but it would work exactly like the GPS-only version.


We can't speculate whether Tesco might add direct support in the future, but they have not done so for the past 7 or 8 years since Apple Watch Series 3 introduced standalone cellular.
