The UAE is a unique blend of cutting-edge technology and a thriving fitness culture. Whether you're in the heart of the city or exploring the scenic beauty of the desert, technology plays an important role in daily life.
When you're out for a run and tracking your progress, or listening to music while working out at the gym, carrying your phone can feel like a hassle. That’s why many of us prefer to leave it at home and just take our Apple Watch along for the ride.
However, without your phone, you might miss important calls or texts. Which is why it's important to activate eSIM on your Apple Watch. With eSIM activated on your watch, you can make calls, send text messages, and use data without needing to carry your phone.
