Sim only deal that works with Apple Watch and has roaming

Hi all,
I’m looking for a sim only deal that has a data plan for an Apple Watch included too.

currently paying £12.50pm for 10gb with EE and £1.33pm for a Watch plan so £13.88 in total. I know I have a bargain Watch plan atm (most are £7) but I fancy more data without paying the earth and I’m off on hols soon and EE’s roaming plan is an absolute rip off at £15pm.

Operators like Id mobile etc are out because they won’t do the Watch plan unless there’s a way round it?

any suggestions? Thanks

edit: EE have just offered me 10gb for £10pm (or £12 for 12gb) but the speed is capped at 25mbps and obviously roaming is on top.

    Only the main providers will offer it and most charge an extra £6 per month

    Just stick to Bluetooth you don't need cellular for a smart watch.

    Missing my need. I run and exercise away from home a lot and i dislike having carrying a phone with me. The cellular smart watch is a great answer to this as I can keep in touch with ppl/wife and listen to music/radio without having to carry my phone.

    How did you get the watch plan for so cheap?

    I don’t know, it was just an option when I was going through the setup menus on my phone back in 2021. Maybe I just got lucky.

    I just phoned to get my ee pac. They gave me the pac for my phone but said I could keep my watch plan going. Seems pretty strange and not sure how it would work??
