couple years ago the standard was waiting two weeks after receiving your refund .. once item is received you must not be tempted to open it by any means as it can be blocked during the process the moment you start your claim, that to guarantee everything is going okay, the item may be activated after two weeks at minimum even if the Refund Process Took Weeks ! i believe some individuals in this forum are still applying this but unfortunately these days some items can be deactivated even if you never touched them so you hope for the best buddy .

exactly. that's what i did too . i've been using my apple watch in europe for almost two years without any problems.
