Apple watch series 6 with cellurar set up for kid

I got a cellular Apple Watchfor my kid. Had to pair it with my husband phone as just his network supports it (we are in Switzerland). The watch is all set up and works with his own number now.

- can I unpair it now from my husband phone and pair it with my phone that is on mobile network that doesn’t support eSIM for Apple Watch? Will it still work as an independent phone or eSIM card will get blocked etc

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Apple Pay via a credit card is not available. Also not available: Medications, respiratory rate, irregular heart rhythm notifications, ECG, AFib History, Cycle Tracking, Sleep, Wrist Temperature, Blood Oxygen, Walking Steadiness, Audiobooks, Camera Remote, News, Shortcuts, and the double tap gesture.
