[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3269973, member: 26737"] No, you wouldn't need a SIM card for a Bluetooth connection. AFAIK, the current-gen smartwatches all use eSIMs anyway, as they're a bit small for a SIM card tray. I haven't looked at that particular product, but if it's Verizon only, you may not have the option of getting it added to your AT&T account later, as some Verizon-only (and Sprint-only) devices are CDMA, which can't interoperate with the networks used by AT&T, T-Mobile, and others. I would be surprised if that were the case for any cellular-capable smartwatch, which are normally LTE-enabled (which works on all of the major carriers' networks). ETA: After looking at the Amazon page, they state that the watch is Verizon-only, so you'd need a Verizon plan to use its cellular capability. If you don't care about the cellular capability, I'd suggest saving some money and buying a smartwatch without the cellular radio. If you don't want to be locked into Verizon, you'll have to look for another watch. [/QUOTE]
