Apple Watch functionality

I will be travelling to Dubai, and I want to buy an Apple Watch over there, but I’m not sure if it’s going to work in Europe and what features will be disabled. I heard that UAE iPhone models don’t have FaceTime, so I am scared that the Apple Watch will also have some features disabled.

Apple Watch resetting to New York and Cupertino All I just got a new iPhone 14 pro and synced it to my Apple Watch 6. Most apps work fine but the weather keeps resetting to New York and Cupertino instead of about 20 other cities on my iPhone. Both devices are on their latest os versions and I restarted both number of times. I also unpaired and paired it. I tried Apple support but they were clueless. I also deleted NY and Cupertino from my watch but they keep reappearing The weather app worked fine on my old iPhone 8. The cities show fine in my Apple Watch app on iPhone, just not on my Apple Watch. Anybody knows the fix? Thanks

Cupertino still show up on Apple Watch after being deleted from iPhone I have done everything suggested. I deleted Cupertino and New York from world clock on iPhone. Cupertino still shows up on my watch. I live on east coast and could care less about weather on west coast [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Family setup no longer available in Australia - Truphone not taking more customers I bought my daughter an apple watch so we could contact her without needing to get her a phone. We specifically chose the apple watch so we could control contacts etc We bought one for our son about a year earlier and it works well. However, this is no longer an option as Truphone (the sole provider in AU) is no longer taking new customers. As a result family setup isnt working in AU. We returned the watch and apple gave us a refund. Apple have not updated their website and Ive tried emailing and calling no no avail. My question is this - Does anyone know if Apple is working on finding an alternative MVNO or carrier for this service? Im still keen to get one for my daughter, but if no fix is coming then I'll just move on. It would be good if Apple would change its website or at least acknowledge my complaint.. If anyone has any insight be great to hear. cheers

An Apple Watch sold in Dubai will likely work in Europe, but why would you take the risk you could have an issue? Apple Watch warranty is not international. Any savings you might see from buying in Dubai would quickly evaporate and then some if you need warranty support. It is ALWASY best to buy the watch in the country you live and will use it.
