Help on buying a new Apple Watch

Can I buy an unlocked Apple Watch and then find a carrier for it after?

I might buy an Apple Watch from Best Buy and not designate a carrier yet.

I am sorry if this is a simple question.


Thank you in advance.

Be aware that the watch MUST be paired with an iPhone AND use the same carrier network as your iPhone.

Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple

Apple watches are not "locked" to any carrier, so the answer to your question is yes IF you follow my first sentence above. Also see:
