Smartwatch
The eSIM is also a way to put a SIM card in a smartwatch, where there is no place for a SIM card. For example, Apple has been releasing a version of the Apple Watch with 4G internet for a few years now, which also has a data and telephone connection without a paired iPhone. However, those models have not yet appeared in the Netherlands. It is not yet known when this will happen.
KPN also says no support for the Apple Watch via eSIM. Other smartwatches are not yet supported by the provider.
