The Amazfit GTR 2 eSIM Edition is the only Amazfit model with eSIM hardware. The standard GTR 2, GTS 2, and all other Amazfit models are Bluetooth-only. The GTR 2 eSIM Edition was released primarily for the China market, so verify regional network band compatibility before purchasing a data plan — the supported LTE bands may differ from those used in your destination country.
Key Takeaways
- GTR 2 eSIM Edition only: eSIM supported.
- All other Amazfit models (standard GTR 2, GTS series, etc.): Bluetooth only, no eSIM.
- Activation via Zepp app on paired smartphone.
- China-market origin — verify regional LTE band support before use abroad.
Does the Amazfit Watch Support eSIM?
Only the GTR 2 eSIM Edition. Standard Amazfit models — including the regular GTR 2 — have no cellular hardware. The eSIM Edition label is printed on both the box and the watch back. If your Zepp app shows no 'eSIM Service' option for your watch, you have the Bluetooth-only variant.

Troubleshooting Amazfit GTR 2 eSIM
'eSIM Service' option missing in Zepp app: You have the standard GTR 2 (Bluetooth-only) rather than the eSIM Edition. The two models look nearly identical — check the watch back for 'eSIM Edition' engraving or the original box. Standard GTR 2 cannot use eSIM.
eSIM installed but no cellular signal: The GTR 2 eSIM Edition is a China-market device — it may not support the specific LTE bands used in your destination country. Check Amazfit's band specifications against local carrier frequencies before use.
QR scan fails during activation: Bluetooth must be active and the watch in pairing range during the Zepp app scan. If Bluetooth drops during the scan, restart the process. Ensure the Zepp app is updated to the latest version.
"eSIM not supported in your region": This error indicates a regional carrier restriction. The GTR 2 eSIM Edition's network hardware may not support eSIM provisioning in all countries. Contact Roamix support to confirm compatibility with your destination.
