If the model you have is supported by Spark when they provide support, then it should work.


Unless you purchased the Apple Watch Series 5 from North America (US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico), then it should work. That is to say the Series 5 has 2 cellular radio chip sets. The North American and the rest of the world.
