There's different models for different regions for cellular usage:

Apple Watch - Models and Carriers - Apple


Apple Watch Series 8 (USA, Canada, Puerto Rico)

  • Model A2772 (41mm)
  • Model A2774 (45mm)


Apple Watch Series 8 (China and Hong Kong)

  • Model A2857 (41mm)
  • Model A2858 (45mm)



Apple Watch Series 8 (Rest of the world)

  • Model A2773 (41mm)
  • Model A2775 (45mm)



You need the A2773 or A2775 if you want it to work in India.

Do note however, those models are not sold in the USA. You can only buy the North America models in the US.

Hey phil, thnx for your prompt response. I have gone thru the link which you have shared for models and carrier’s which was very helpful.


Going thru link, I found there is a minor diff in Band Support in Model A2772 (41 mm) for USA, Canada, etc. and Model A2773 (41 mm) for India. (Screenshots attached)


India band support:


USA,CANADA, etc. band support:



Which i think if i get Model A2772 (41 mm) from USA, Canada then should work in India as there is minor differences. Can you (Phil) or anyone confirm this?
