There are 2 Apple Watch cellular radios

  • Canada, U.S. Mexico, Puerto Rico
  • The rest of the world

Carriers will not attempt to connect to an Apple Watch that does not use the correct radio.


If you do not get your Apple Watch in your own country, you may have to return the Apple Watch to the country where purchased to get warranty service.


If you do not get your Apple Watch in your own country, there may be country specific restrictions in the install Apple Watch software that prevent features from working when you get home.

And finally, the carrier you use in India must be willing to provide service for an Apple Watch purchased outside the country. Technically it is possible, and others have purchased the Apple Watch while flying through Dubai, but it still comes down to whether your carrier will provide cellular service on your iPhone plan.
