Troubleshooting Montblanc Summit eSIM
'Cellular' or 'Mobile network' option missing: You have the original Summit (2017), which has no eSIM hardware. Only Summit 2+ and Summit 3 support cellular. Confirm your model: original Summit uses Wear OS 2.x without cellular; Summit 2+ and 3 have the cellular chip.
QR scan fails during activation: Phone must be on Wi-Fi with stable connectivity; watch must be in Bluetooth range. If scanning from a phone screen, ensure adequate lighting. Use manual SM-DP+ entry (Enter activation code) as an alternative in the Wear OS cellular setup.
Watch shows no data signal after eSIM install: In the Montblanc Summit app or Wear OS app, navigate to your watch's Cellular/Mobile network settings and confirm the Roamix profile is set as active. If listed but inactive, select it and enable it.
Wear OS update required: If eSIM provisioning fails with a vague error, check that your Summit 2+ or 3 is running the latest Wear OS version. Wear OS firmware updates can be triggered through the Montblanc Summit app under Watch settings → System → System update.
