Will Apple watch ultra bought in USA works with Indian carrier ?

No. Any apple product bought in USA which has an esim or needs a cellular network has warranty covered in that particular country from where it is bought. I confirmed that from apple customer care in india and it is also mentioned in their warranty page on website. This is because the USA watch or iphone may have different model number/ construction than the one sold in india due to cellular bands etc. So you may not get warranty for any cellular apple watch or iphone from USA in india but regular apple watch without esim (Bluetooth only models) or an ipad ( bluetooth only models) from USA is definitely having global warranty and is covered globally.

No u dont have to. I got the same model from US apple store and i have a physical sim on iPhone 12 with no e sim. Only one number on physical sim. Thats Airtel. It worked perfectly. And i used the same in Mumbai Maharashtra as well in airtel roaming and it worked well. It just supports all the bands needed by Airtel and Jio in india. Their tech team may confuse you as they also sell Indian apple watches which are costly. For some one not working may be an isolated case with previous watch not removed or some other technical issue. But it worked for me and many others.

Yes, sure. First i have a physical postpaid sim with a 699 Rs plan from Airtel. Apple watches cellular usually work on post paid sims.

i had an apple watch 6 bought in india already paired with my iphone 12 on that number. So i went to my watch app and went to mobile data and clicked i next to Airtel and clicked remove airtel plan. Then i called 121 to get the plan removed from my watch from backend of airtel as well. Then unpaired that watch and booted the apple watch ultra and paired with my iPhone 12. It automatically while setting up manually as a new watch, without restoring backup, asked me to set up the data plan of my phone which is Airtel. I continued to click next and it was automatic from there until the watch was set up.

Guys, my USA base Apple Watch ultra works in India. I am using Jio (prepaid) sim.

if anyone planning to buy Apple Watch ultra from USA just go for it

model no A2622

if u have a Jio physical sim in ur ip then u can activate cellular in iwatch by ur self u dont have to visit Jio office. In ip open Watch app n then go to data r cellular then I think it redirect to Jio site there u enter ur Jio no n creat a password n accept r give ok. Then u done data in Watch will get activated wit in few minutes that’s how I did today. I don’t know about family setup.

Im from Pune , Mine is Jio (maharashtra) physical prepaid sim & its working smoothly. 😊 This jio support team is very faltoo at first jio told me that they dont support but now its workin properly . They told me that i have to convert to eSIM first & then when we will support in future. 🥴 , i asked to VI & airtel they told that we support ultra watch but u have to convert it into eSIM postpaid plan that starts frm 399 +18%gst

Hey folks, I’m planning to buy watch ultra2 from US and not sure whether cellular will work here in India with airtel postpaid. Is anybody using ultra2 with airtel postpaid and can confirm, if it works?

There are a lot of individual in India that have used a U.S. Apple Watch in India.

However, it is up to the carrier as to whether or not they want to support the Apple Watch (apparently most accept it, but they still have the option).

The warranty will be U.S. specific, so if you have any warranty repair issues, you would have to return to the U.S. for the repair, or pay for the repair out of your own pocket.

And why the Apple Watch sold in the U.S. is the same model as sold in India, the firmware is different, so it is very possible to know where the Apple Watch was purchased.

yes it works. I configured mine in Delhi with Airtel today and i can confirm it works. Had bought from Apple store in US.

yes, it works. i also have been in the same confused state a month back. but after seeing this sinha’s thread I got a clarity and brought an Apple Watch Ultra from US just a week back. A2622 US model. and it works perfectly fine.

Yes I got apple watch ultra from us and activate cellular with jio. I was able to make n receive calls when iphone was off..

Thanx god ! Finally i can say the US model A2622 , apple ultra watch is working on jio. Anyone planning to buy it from US can go for it👍
