No, you cannot use the same eSIM on both a phone and a watch simultaneously. Each device needs its own eSIM profile since the eSIM is tied to a single device to enable cellular service. However, most carriers support sharing a phone number across devices, allowing calls and messages to sync. For this setup, contact your carrier to activate a companion eSIM or plan for your watch that links with your phone's number.
