Will it work in USA paired to an iPhone 15 on T-Mobile plan . I bought in USA but when I checked imei # and serial number it came up as from china region. The box it came in which was sealed says it was made in USA. It is so strange. Will it work in usa
You have not yet told us from whom you bought the watch. If the box really, truly says made in the USA then it is a counterfeit fake. No Apple watches are made in the USA. None. What it usually says is “Designed” in Cupertino, California. Again, no Apple watches are made or even assembled in the USA. Never have been. Newer watch models are made in China, Vietnam, and Thailand.

Super ****** off because it was sold as a made in USA Apple Watch Ultra 2 and was bought in California . The box was sealed and the serial number on it says it is a USA watch but when you run the imei as well as check the model number it comes up as from china . I was sold a sealed brand new $800 watch that nowhere on the box does it say it is from china and that it is a very expensive paper weight. How is that fair that I’m stuck with this.
I’ve been on the hone with Apple for two days and they never told me it was from china when I ran the serial number and imei number. It came out 100% compatible as far as their verification process. I found out through trying to add service on my T-Mobile plan. Then I looked up the model number and then it came up as a product from china. It seems like Apple should be accountable for their merchandise they are selling to people.
On my Apple Watch Ultra 2 it says, "Designed by Apple in California" and "Made in China"
Same on the additional Apple Watch band I ordered.
Every Apple Product I own has a sticker, that it has been "Designed in California" and either "Assembled in China" or "Made in China"
