The online description says that you can register your personal watch with the plan, but why can't I do it at a store?

Correct. You cant have a smartwatch plan without a postpaid cellphone plan

Hi ​@taekyu 

What happens when you try to activate a smartwatch plan on your BYOD smartwatch?

Are the requirements met as per the FAQ article here https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/smartwatch-faq?

Which smartwatch do you have?

Smart watch plan activation can be done through the device and selfserve. I don't think you need a rep instore do it for you.

I verified that my watch meets the requirements. The store just said that my watch wasn't checked and that the option wasn't available, so it wasn't possible.

Good

Ok but did you try to activate it on your smart watch?

Even when I activate my watch, it says I don't have a mobile plan. Ultimately, I need to sign up for a plan at a Kudo store or agency, so my watch is recognized and I can activate it. However, the agency said they searched for a watch plan, but the option was not available.

They say the device is usable, but they say it's not available at dealerships or Kudo stores. I wish they would clearly state that it can't be used unless it's a smartwatch purchased from Kudo. I'm going to give up my foolish thoughts.

Who said it needs to be a smart watch purchased from Koodo for it to work?
