Buying an iWatch series 7 in USA and using in Malaysia

Hi,

If I buy an iWatch series 7 directly from the store in USA and am going back to use it in Malaysia, will there be a problem? I’m not planning to buy an iWatch with cellular. Just the one with GPS


Thanks in advance.

There are 2 Apple Watch cellular radios

• Canada, U.S. Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Ecuador

• 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.
