If it is a GPS-only watch, then there should the no problem.


However, there might be problems if it is a GPS+Cellular watch. Make sure that your friend has an eligible cellular service plan with a supported carrier. His iPhone and Apple Watch must use the same carrier, and he must be within his carrier's network when he sets up cellular on his watch. There is usually a &10 additional monthly charge for the cellular service. For more info, see:
