T-Mobile nano Sim

I can't just stick my T-Mobile nano Sim and go? Do I have to do anything special to it?

Also, there's no unlocked version?

Aren't the Android Wear watches with network connectivity use eSims (built into the board, not a separate removable chip)?

Yes, you can. Nothing special required.

They are all unlocked. I have the AT&T version, using it in Canada on Koodo with no issues.

Nope, nano sim like your phone.

Samsung's Gear S2 is the only watch that I know uses eSIM and it is not an AW watch.

I do stand corrected then. I have a G-watch R (only BT/wifi), and the Gear S2 classic (3g/4g - used e-sim as mentioned above), I've never seen a "3g/4g" Android wear in person. Figured they would all save the space for the bracket and mounting mechanisms and use e-sim But that's awesome to know when I need to upgrade.

Samsung Gear S1 also uses nano SIM. The eSIM on Gear S2 is largely hated by many perspective customers because it will make unlock and switch carriers difficult.

Any nano-SIM and go. A wearable SIM will not work though. It needs to be a phone SIM.
I was using a Pre-Paid T-Mobile now I use a Truphone SIM.

All are unlocked.

I tried an H2O prepaid sim. It worked for cell and text but not data. You need to get into the settings to change the APN settings on the watch to make data work, and you currently can not access that on the watch.

I now have it on T-Mobile as an extra phone line ($10 per month). The T-Mobile store tried to get me on the wearable plan ($5 per month), even had an engineer on the phone but he would not tried to load the watch as a Gear S2 which is the reported workaround to get on a mobile plan.

I also tried H20 but had the same issue. I've been using Truphone since January with no problems. I only activate the cell service 3 times a week when I run for an hour. Paying about $3-$4 a month.
