Can I buy my Apple Watch series 3 with Cellular...

Hi

I'm living in Luxembourg, so for now I can not buy an Apple Watch Series 3 with Cellular here.

As I need to buy one for birthday present I was wondering if I could go buy the watch in Germany now and use it in my country without LTE and as soon as the watch becomes available here I let my provider program it?

According to my provider this is possible as long as the watch has no SIM Lock but I'd rather check twice.

Thank you

Hi

Apple Watch (GPS + Cellular) is not locked to any specific carrier and has a built-in eSIM that copies information from the iPhone's SIM card.

The watch can be paired, set up and used for other features whilst skipping the steps to activate cellular. The cellular feature can then be enabled later, if and when you are using a compatible service plan.

The built-in cellular features require a carrier plan in your country of use that specifically includes support for Apple Watch (including the carrier activating the device on the plan).

If buying Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) in another country, then you would need to buy a model that supports the relevant LTE and UMTS bands for your intended country of use and your supported carrier there.

There are three different regional versions of Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular), each supporting different LTE and UMTS bands, as detailed here:

• Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple

If in doubt, I suggest that you contact your intended carrier to ask whether any given model can be used on their network with a plan that they may offer or be planning to offer that supports Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular).

Note that the built-in cellular features cannot be used when roaming.

Also keep in mind that warranty service may be restricted to the country in which Apple Watch is originally purchased.
