Can I use my Spacetalk watch overseas?

Whether your Spacetalk watch works internationally and what you need to do before travelling.

Spacetalk watches are designed to work in the country they were purchased in. International use depends on your region and whether your watch is unlocked.

Important: Spacetalk watches purchased outside the USA/Canada market are not compatible with USA or Canadian networks (and vice versa), even after unlocking. This is due to different network band configurations between regions. Check your destination country's network compatibility before travelling.
