<\/p>\n

\tLuxury goods maker Montblanc signed up Orange as its first connectivity provider in Europe for a forthcoming eSIM-enabled smartwatch, a deal which ticks a number of boxes for the operator in terms of tariff strategy, OS compatibility and advancing the GSMA-backed SIM standard.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Orange explained the deal pitches it as the first operator in the world to remotely connect eSIM \u201cwith on device service activation\u201d on a product running Google\u2019s WearOS. The arrangement will make the process of a smartwatch connecting to a mobile network \u201cseamless and fully digitalised\u201d, while proving Orange\u2019s \u201cleadership in driving the adoption of eSIM connectivity\u201d using a standard GSMA implementation.<\/p>\n

eSIM is a global specification by the GSMA which enables remote installation of SIMs onto devices, doing away with physical installation of plastic cards.<\/p>\n

The operator added this would \u201cact as a catalyst to extend remote activation\u201d and mobile connectivity \u201con many more wearable devices and further smartwatch categories\u201d.<\/p>\n

Despite those claims, though, Orange noted it would not offer standalone tariffs for the high-end wearable. Instead, it will offer connection as an extension of its multi-SIM billing approach, enabling smartphone subscribers to operate Summit 2+ on their current package, sharing the phone number and data allowance while receiving a single bill.<\/p>\n

It noted the smartwatch will \u201coperate autonomously, without the need for the smartphone to be nearby\u201d.<\/p>\n

Orange said the Summit 2+ \u201cadds a new dimension\u201d to a growing range of smartwatches it offers. Customers will be able to use the device for making calls, messaging, voice dictation, and accessing notifications \u201cfrom social networks and other smartphone apps\u201d.<\/p>\n

Trend
\nSpeaking to Mobile World Live, Orange equipment and partnerships SVP Philippe Lucas said smartwatch is a \u201cgood step forward to do more devices with eSIM\u201d and the operator will be gradually rolling out eSIM compatibility across its footprint.<\/p>\n

Lucas added the operator is seeing an upward trend with eSIM and it is expanding \u201cto other device categories that\u2019s why we have to embrace this technology\u201d.<\/p>\n

The device itself builds on the Montblanc Summit 2 launched in January 2019, featuring GPS, a larger 440mAh battery and Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon Wear 3100 platform, which Orange said makes it the first smartwatch running the US chip maker\u2019s kit to offer mobile connectivity.<\/p>\n

Beyond this, the Summit 2+ adds fitness tracking covering activity, calories burned, distance travelled and heartrate monitoring, among others.<\/p>\n

Orange will put the unit on sale during Q2. While it offered no details on pricing, the Summit 2 typically retails for around \u00a3845 or higher.<\/p>\n\n
