Question marked as Apple recommended

There are 2 Apple Watch cellular radios

• Canada, U.S. Mexico, Puerto Rico

• The rest of the world

Carriers will not attempt to connect to an Apple Watch that does not use the correct radio.


If you do not get your Apple Watch in your own country, you may have to return the Apple Watch to the country where purchased to get warranty service.


If you do not get your Apple Watch in your own country, there may be country specific restrictions in the installed Apple Watch software that prevent features from working when you get home.

Is this a cellular watch or a GPS only watch?.

If it's GPS only then it will work with any carrier,if it's cellular then the cellular part will only work in supported countries.
