Can I repair an Apple Watch SE bought in China? Hi! I bought an Apple Watch SE in Mainland China, and I wonder if UK Apple store can repair it within warranty for free. And will there be any technical difficulties to repair it? Also, really appreciate if you can answer this: Does it comply with UK providers’ 4G/5G data? For example EE. Thanks!

Apple watch series5 I got an Apple Watch series 5 GPS Aluminum Case as a new year gift which was bought from The US. I have had a good experience in using it. However I get some troubles which are Unresponsive microphone, some rustic strain on the case, and the power button is hard to turn off. Unfortunately, Apple store in the country where I live (Thailand)does not allow me to fix the Apple Watch which was bought the US. How could I get it fix outside the US? Or I should buy a new one. What does Apple suggest me to not have the same troubles again? Thank you

Apple Watch S5 replacement - Different Countries Hi Guys, While visiting Florida, in Jan/2020, I've bought my Apple Watch S5 Nike version, with GPS+LTE. Two months later back in Brazil, it fell from our nightstand and I was shocked that the glass is so WEAK! Now I have a broken US nike watch in Brazilian soil, and Apple Brazil tells me that the model they have here in Brazil is different from US model, therefore they can't do replacement! My question is: Is there any Apple Watch Service Center, or Store, that I could send thru Fedex or DHL my broken watch to USA to be replaced for a new one?? It is just VERY frustrating that we can't change it over here in Brazil. And no... we dont have apple care+... :( Had wrist watches all my life... even cheap chinese stuff you get screen with scratches... but NEVER had a broken glass on a watch... Apple should review this.... Thanks and waiting, Daniel

Apple has been diversifying its manufacturing the past few years because of problems with the Chinese government. If you bought your watch from an Apple Store, online from Apple, or from an authorized Apple reseller your watch is definitely original.

From whom did your buy the watch?
