Galaxy watch replacement but not UK version?
Discussion
I am out in Thailand and my Galaxy S3 has died. Been to several watch shops to try and get it repaired but no success.
Water got inside so I think it would need proper cleaning and I am not 100% sure but I think our pool might be salt water..
Given it must be 5+ years old its not the end of the world. Its survived a lot already.
I have been into my local samsung shop and they have the version 6 in stock for about £340 which isnt too bad given you can get them on amazon in the UK for about the same. Electronics here can be quite a bit more expensive than UK prices so comparable is good. However, I noticed on Amazon that it says "UK version".
Is anyone aware of any issues with non uk versions? Its BT only so no LTE etc so no issues with frequency?
I am just a bit unsure if its going to be an issue. I am here for at least another 2 months and its doing my head in not having my watch so I really dont want to wait till I get home to replace it.
FWIW my phone is an A32.
I only ask as I know in the likes of Japan they have JDM specific models of electronics but I would not have thought Thailand is like that?

Ive bought a lot of electronics over the years in Thailand and the only Thai variant I have ever come across was an Apple MBA that had a Thai/English keyboard.
Samsung have a decent international warranty. If the price is decent go for it, it should be totally fine.
Nice one thanks!Samsung have a decent international warranty. If the price is decent go for it, it should be totally fine.
