We are not saying the use in general obviously, we are talking about the LTE options of this new model and it seems that Apple Watch LTE connectivity is restricted to the country where the purchase is made. This raises many doubts and questions among users who want to buy the new watch model and it does not make much sense.

For a moment let's think that we travel a lot and la Apple Watch limitation regarding the use of LTE chip in the country of purchase it is a serious inconvenience for this user. In short, we do not believe that it is good news for us and we must keep this detail in mind before launching the purchase.

On the other hand, what has happened in the United States with the operator T-Mobile is also a serious problem, which does not allow users of this new Apple Watch Series 3 to use faster connection networks than 3G. This may be explained by the fact that they do not want to saturate the network with the "navigation" of the Apple Watch, but it is another added problem that operators in other countries that have availability of this watch will have to deal with.

I myself in a previous article about the new Apple watch said or thought about the possibility of buying the watch in the United Kingdom or even in France to be able to enjoy these new features in Spain when the operators offered a corresponding data plan, I also remember that the bands that the Apple Watch supports in France are exactly the ones we have in Spain, what did not count is that the operator itself was in charge of putting this type of "restrictions" on the use of LTE connectivity, we will see how everything ends it and especially when the Series 3 has purchase availability in our country.

    Good Morning! From what I guess it is just a guess, right? I understand that the company cannot block the device, and the area restriction if we see in the American online apple store we can see that it indicates that if we have an American company we will not be able to use it in another country, it does not indicate anything about whether we travel with our apple watch and we put out a different data plan.

    regards
