Apple Watch Cellular series 7 from US to work in India

I have purchased Apple Watch Series 7 45mm Cellular in US yesterday. Would it work in India when I move there. Your website says it supports Airtel Network in India. Earlier I had Apple Hermes Cellular which is working on Indian Carrier Airtel. Hope this Series 7 shall also work. Pls clarify.

I am sure about Airtel. It will work. I have been using cellular feature on my watch purchased from US


When I got my watch from US it was not working but after a long technical discussions with their team they modified their provisioning system to support all models.



Now you may see it listed in their website

Did you actually read the responses in this thread and if you did, WHY would you still consider buying your Apple Watch in US to use in India? Are you willing to take the risk it won't work? If it doesn't, are you ready to hop on a plain to return it in the US, within the 14 day return window? If it breaks in India or you need warranty service are you prepared to hop on a plane and return to the US for service? If you answered NO to any of these questions, DON'T buy your watch in the US. But it in the country you live and will wear it.

is yours Apple Watch 7??? And what about Australia anyone??

Only some carriers in India has decided to accept U.S. Apple Watches. The U.S. Apple Watches cannot actually use all the radio frequencies offered in India, so some users may find coverage spotty if the carrier only services a given area with a frequency the U.S. Apple Watch cannot use.


I have not heard of any Australian carriers willing to enable a U.S. Apple Watch.
