Thanks for the knowledge! Early on, like with the first Apple Watch, I thought it was different. But I will remove the plan when I unpair the watch.
Got a tip for us?

Import scan received! Hopefully I see a departure scan in 4 hours or so.
Still no import scan. 
Edit: I knew if I posted, UPS would see it and my import scan would show.

Seems like @Chaotic77 knows already, but Cellular Apple Watches are ALREADY eSIM. I mean, have you ever put a SI/nano-SIM chip in one?
Apple Watch Cellular & eSim - What you need to know (istore.co.za)
So yes, you want to remove the cellular plan from the old watch as you unpair it. The only way to fully deactivate the a Watch's cellular plan is through your Carrier and actually cancelling it. So as you pair your new watch to the phone, it basically is porting the number associated with the number given to your AW Account at the carrier to the new eSIM on your new watch.
It will come soon. I was checking like every 5 minutes. Then all of a sudden it showed it was scanned 20 minutes prior to the last time I checked.Still no import scan.

Apple Watch Ultra bank compatibility explained. I'm going to stick with the original ocean band.

Good news for Apple Watch Ultra buyers. If you’ve already invested in Apple Watch bands for bigger screen models in...

Got my Ultra import scan this morning!
APP2 are also in Louisville!

Mine is doing the traditional Eindhoven (NL) - Brussels (B) - Eindhoven (NL) DHL Benelux Tour before I can pick it up at the local DHL hub tomorrow morning.
Shipping is a bit crazy this time! I changed my mind and cancelled the Watch 8 ordered right after the announcement to order the Ultra instead.
Got an estimated delivery of Sept 30 to Oct 5 I think. Then it changed and was delayed about a week. Never have seen that before from Apple.
Then last night UPS has the watch last in Shanghai and now is in a "clearing facility" with an expected delivery on Monday the 26th!

Just received tracking for the Apple Watch band. It's coming from U.S. Warehouse in Ontario.
I’m wishing to see one for a later delivery window like some for early Octobers are getting
Makes sense, but that also means probably another $30 activation fee .... UGH
To all the MCO folks, here's what I see from a flight perspective.
If I get charged, I call ATT and get it waived. They’ll usually do it for customer loyalty or if you’ve been with the carrier for a long time.
I had a hellacious eSIM activation on my 14PM- so I told them and had them out it in notes through my tech support time. “Don’t even try to charge me after this circus!” 😂
Do you think being from North Venice my watches will come into MCO? Or should I be looking for a Tampa flight?
Stopped by the Apple Store on lunch. Apparently there should be Ultra bands in stock tomorrow, but low inventory. Fingers crossed there may be some trail loops available.
