switching apple watch to new phone number

How can I switch an Apple watch that is shared on my plan to a different phone on my plan. My husband has the watch but never uses it and it's set up to be shared with his phone line and I want to disconnect it from his and share with mine.

Contact the network provider of your iphone and see of they can add an eSIM plan for your Watch. The Watch must be with the same provider as your iphone.


Your husband needs to take the following steps before you can use it
