Does Apple Watch Series 2 support eSIM?

You're correct, the Apple Watch Series 2 (including models like Apple Watch 2 38mm and 42mm) does not support eSIM technology. The Apple Watch Series 2 uses a traditional nano-SIM card for connectivity, and eSIM support was introduced starting with the Apple Watch Series 3.

If you're looking to use eSIM functionality on your Apple Watch, your best options are:

  1. Upgrading to a newer model: Consider upgrading to an Apple Watch Series 3 or later, which supports eSIM and allows you to use mobile plans without needing a physical SIM card.
  2. Using a specialized SIM card: In some cases, there are adapters or specialized SIM cards that can enable eSIM functionality on older devices, though compatibility and effectiveness may vary.

If you're set on using eSIM, upgrading to a newer model would be the most straightforward solution.
