Apple Watch models with cellular connectivity are now available in New Zealand for the first time ever.

Apple has started selling Series 3 and Series 5 models with Wi-Fi and Cellular through its online store in New Zealand this week, with pricing starting at NZ$549 for Series 3 models and NZ$929 for Series 5 models.

Spark is the only carrier that offers service for the Apple Watch in New Zealand right now. For $12.99 a month, Spark's wearable plan lets you share your iPhone plan's minutes and texts and get unlimited data on the Watch. And until June 6, 2020, Spark is offering the first three months free.

(Thanks, Richard Everson!)

It requires watchOS 6.1.1 or later installed, we should expect a software update very soon!
 
Spark's site says that you need iOS 13.3. I wonder whether that means it'll be out next week.
 
No “edition” models (titanium or ceramic), but this does mean stainless steel models are available in NZ again.
This is basically the only reason I am excited...don't want or need a cellular watch, but really want to go back to the durability of SS and sapphire.
