Cannot connect my Apple Watch to O2, O2 unable or unwilling to resolve

I cannot connect my Apple Watch to O2, I keep getting a message "setting up on the O2 network and after 24 hours call 202 from the phone and quote code 08". I have contract O2 10 times in the past 4 weeks and they are not either able to fix it or not interested in resolving it. I have reset everything many times, phone and watch, nothing helps. Also ensured I'm on the mobile network and not the WiFi, I have an O2 eSIM in my iPhone. My phone is a 15 Pro and my watch is an Ultra 2. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

O2 is one of the largest mobile providers and sells many Apple Watches and accessories. Have you gone through all the articles on this page:

https://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/smartwatches/apple-watch

They explain how two set up a watch purchased from O2 as well as watches purchased elsewhere.

Does O2 have in person stores you can visit?

I'm afraid, only your carrier can solve this.

To be sure, that you did not miss anything in the setup, have a look at the related article:

Glad, that replacing your eSim on your iPhone worked to get the eSim for the Apple Watch registered.

Enjoy your watch 🙂
