Hi all.
I am currently in Australia ( Canberra ). In the city there is an apple store, where I want to buy an LTE version of the apple watch.
Originally I am from Europe correctly Slovakia ( where are 3 carriers: T-Mobile, Orange, O2 [LTE band support in these 3 carriers are: 800, 1800 and 2600 MHz).
My plan is that I will buy an Apple watch 3 LTE version ( Model A1861 (42mm) ). As I know it has LTE band support of these frequencies:
So my question is, if I buy this in Australia, can I use it normally, without eSIM functionality, until we will get eSIM support in my country?
Will it let me to use all of features of the watch (except of the LTE) ? Can I expect that the watch will lock me out of the use, when I want to first time set it up?
Thank you for your help.
