Buying AppleCare online for a China-purchased Apple Watch while in Bangladesh (within 60 days)
Hello Apple Community,
I am seeking urgent guidance on purchasing AppleCare+ for my new Apple Watch.
- Device: Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm, Aluminium, GPS, China variant)
- Purchase Date: June 2, 2025 (purchased directly in China)
- Current Location: Bangladesh
- Current Status: My online coverage checker shows "AppleCare Eligible: No."
I understand that for devices purchased in mainland China, there's a 7-day window for direct-on-device/phone purchase, and a 60-day window for in-store purchase. As I am currently in Bangladesh and will not be returning to China in the next 3 months, visiting an Apple Store in China is not an option for me within the 60-day deadline (which is around August 1, 2025).
My primary question is:
Is it possible to purchase AppleCare+ online for an Apple Watch that was bought in China, while I am currently located in Bangladesh?
If so:
- What is the specific online process or the best way to initiate this purchase from Bangladesh?
- Are there any particular regional considerations or potential hurdles I should be aware of, given the device's origin (China variant) and my current location (Bangladesh, where there are no official Apple Stores)?
- Why might the online coverage checker show "AppleCare Eligible: No" even though I am still well within the overall 60-day purchase window?
I have my original proof of purchase from China ready. Any advice on how to proceed from here to secure AppleCare+ before my eligibility expires would be immensely helpful.
Thank you!
Apple Watch Series 10
