There are some carriers in India that will ignore that, but you should check with your carrier before you buy. The 900MHz frequency band will be missing in a U.S. purchased Apple Watch, so if the carrier only uses 900MHz in some area, it will be a dead zone to you. But if your iPhone is with you, then the Apple Watch will piggy back off the iPhone.


Note: your Apple Warranty will not apply, as it is country specific, unless you are returning to the U.S. frequently.

A cellular watch bought in the US will only function in North America,Canada,Mexico and Puerto Rico anywhere else it will function as a GPS only watch.

If it's a GPS only watch then it will work just fine.
