ECG and IR notifications eligible countries

Hi Rnasko,

the answer is no.

until Apple is able to bring these things to the watch where you are you will not be able to use this.

you might be able to say you are else where, and but this is not advertised.

There is no workaround;

For the ECG app to work on your watch the ECG app has to be approved by;

A. the government of the country in which the watch was bought and

B.the government of the country in which you reside.

by the wrong way you would need to take your watch out of where you got the watch from etc I am not sure you are able to do this, but having a watch from another country might work, if you just need one and don't care what apple and your gov says.

how does the phone/ watch know what country? and if you say go from the US to Bulgaria would all these things switch off? I'm going to go with no, so who does the phone/ watch know if you are just 'visiting' or you live there?

if it's where you got the phone from, they are all the same phones just a registration no?

if not please enlighten me on how it works would be good to know.

To cover the LTE and UMTS bands used around the world, cellular models of Apple Watch come in regional models for the Americas, China mainland and Europe/Asia Pacific. Unlike iPhone, there isn't a worldwide Apple Watch model that supports all cellular bands used globally.

A cellular watch bought in the US will only function in North America,Canada,Mexico and Puerto Rico anywhere else it will function as a GPS only watch.

This is my last post as we're not even on the OP original question now.

thank you for your last post, but the user didn't say they had a cellular apple watch or not, just can some functions be working. And from your last replay, I take it the answer is yes if the watch is from another country and WIFi, but just a lookup of the carrier used in the country would tell you what watch you would need for the connection need. In any case, WIFI or not the answer is yes if you do some work and get a watch from elsewhere or change it somehow, it should then work as Apple or the Gov in that country has no way of knowing you live there.

That doesn't work because the phone automatically detects what region you are in.

Like it does for if your elsewhere but tell it your in the US..? For apps etc?

That's a different thing all together,we're talking about a medical device here.And the legal repercussions that come with it.
