Hi


There are no regional differences in Apple Watch hardware. The included USB Power Adapter will have pins that are localised to the country of purchase.


When charging from mains power, you can connect the Apple Magnetic Charging Cable to your choice of:


- The Apple USB Power Adapter that is supplied with the watch, or;

- A genuine Apple 5W (iPhone) or 12W (iPad) USB Power Adapter, or;

- An Apple-certified third-party equivalent of the above.


If charging via USB, you can connect to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port (if connected to a computer, the compuet must remain turned on and awake and the cable must be plugged directly into the computer and not into, for example, an external keyboard).

In the country of purchase .

If you have a problem it would have to be sent to country of purchase for repair .


This is incorrect.


If you purchase the watch in the US, you will still be able to access hardware warranty service in the UK under the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty.
