Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular India Pre-Booking Begins on Jio and Airtel Stores

Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular variant is set to launch in India this month as Apple has partnered with Reliance Jio and Airtel to bring the wearable to users in the country. With announcements made late last month, the GPS + Cellular version of the Apple Watch Series 3 is now up for pre-orders on Airtel's online store, as well as across Jio.com, Reliance Digital stores, and Jio stores. It will be made available for purchase, from the above mentioned outlets, starting May 11.

The Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular pre-booking pages on both Airtel's and Jio's websites are now live. To register on Airtel, users need to enter in their Airtel mobile numbers in order to get exclusive invites on May 11. On the other hand, Jio requires your pin-code to verify delivery parameters for the Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular variant. To recall, Jio customers that pre-book the wearable before May 11 will be entitled to free first day home delivery. Add to that, the Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular will work with no additional charge for both Jio prepaid and postpaid connections, and only on Airtel's postpaid Infinity plans on Airtel.
