Quick Question: Is Apple Watch warranty valid Internationally (both GPS and GPS+Cellular)? Use Case - Want to bring in Apple Watch 7 GPS+Cellular from US to India

For GPS+Cellular Model, it will only be valid in the country of purchase since the cellular hardware is region specific and the parts will not be available here

warantty will be valid.

yes, found this in one of the answers on Apple, not sure though, thought to check from the users with first hand experience 😅

As per my brother’s experience with Singapore purchased Apple watch (GPS only), he got his Apple watch replaced under warranty. But the service center asked for the purchase bill to make sure that it is a valid purchase in the foreign country. AFAIK Apple warranty is valid internationally on valid purchases.

I have a GPS+Cellular imported from Dubai, the warranty is valid in India

Overall on all products. I have asked this personally, they have international warranty.

Sounds good, ordering now! 😀

@big-machine-42854 does your cellular apple watch work with indian carriers?

I bought the GPS model from US, skipped cellular, I realised that it didnt fit my use case as I’ll be carrying my phone pretty much everywhere 🙂

I had US purchased cellular Apple watch 3 when it was out. It didn’t work for Indian carriers at that time.

https://www.apple.com/in/watch/cellular/ There are basically 2 models, one that works in US and Canada, and the other one for the rest of the world. The only difference is that the global one supports one additional band (UMTS 900 MHz), so the US one should technically work in India unless there are additional carrier checks, etc in the software. Safer bet would be to get the global one. I’ve got one from Dubai, never had a hiccup
