Android Question

I have an Android phone (Samsung S5 sport) and an Android Smart watch. My watch is showing "insert SIM card". Do I copy my information to an SD card from my phone and insert into my watch?
Thanks

The watch obviously has some sort of 3G mobile data capability. which is why it's asking for a SIM card. This is completely different to a memory card, and has no storage capabilities.

Btw the offer you linked to has expired and the URL now gives no useful info, so I've removed it to avoid confusion.
 
This smart-watch is one of those Chinese ones bought online, it's NOT Android Wear. If its stating that you insert a SIM, I think that's what you have to do with it, so it can use cellular data.

If you were expecting it to be Android Wear, and to work completely with your phone, you bought the wrong smart-watch.

Yeh, it's actually running Android. but it's NOT Android Wear, as in this... https://www.android.com/wear/

These Chinese watches need to have internet access via a carrier's 3G wireless network, and that's why they require a SIM. A phone can send it notifications and things via Bluetooth, provided you install the supporting app on the phone, which usually comes directly from the watch manufacturer's website or via the Play Store. Some watches will show a QR code during setup that you scan with the phone, and that downloads the supporting APK for it.
