Apple Watch cellular version purchased in USA will NOT be compatible with networks in India, and your network will not be able to activate it. Details in https://www.apple.com/in/watch/cellular/

Find the model number you want in the doc I linked, Axxxx, and see where it is available. There is one caution, avoid Middle East (UAE, etc) because their devices are hardware locked to block FaceTime. Apart from that you should check with your intended network that they will accept and activate an imported device. Also note Apple / India has added the Series 4 on the list, which suggests they might be intending local supply sooner rather than later.


Also be aware an imported device will probably not be accepted for warranty in India if there is a problem. You would have to return it to the country where it was purchased, which might cost more in flights than the device is worth.
