Apple Watch Ultra 2 USA in Europe

Is it possible to use an Apple Watch bought in the USA in Europe or Germany in particular?


If not? Why?


They share the same Model Number

and support the same frequencies.

The Series 9 and the Ultra 2 are the first Apple Watches that have had the same serial numbers.


Most of us volunteers are waiting to see if users are able to use a U.S. purchased Apple Watch in the EU, UK, or other country. Or the opposite, an Apple Watch series 9 or Ultra 2 purchased across the pond being used in the U.S., Canada, Mexico or Puerto Rico.


As we are uses just like you, we do not have any inside information. We only have what the

website says, and then we can speculate.


But until we get enough confirmation that the same Apple Watch works anywhere in the world, we will not know for sure.

The main constraint is likely to be networks refusing to accept devices sourced out of home country.


The only suggestion on this point is for someone to ask (for example) A USA network with a scenario something like "my relative is in (Europe?) and has purchased an Apple Ultra 2. Will you activate it onto a USA plan when they return to USA?" By all means play the military line... but remember to get any promises in writing, signed in blood and with a first born as hostage.
