I will buy it if it supports esim so I can be reachable by phone and sms all the time, which means some cell phone operator needs to buy in first.

I don't think being a phone-substitute in that way has ever been a goal for Pebble. It doesn't even have WiFi.

Its goals are battery life and a simple set of features including notifications from the phone via Bluetooth. You seem to have different needs, and there are other smartwatches being produced which attempt to address them.
