Apple has officially initiated the pre-order phase for its latest wearable, the Apple Watch Series 12, across several international markets, including India. The device is scheduled to arrive in retail stores on September 18, carrying a starting price point of Rs 56,900.

While the launch marks a significant update to Apple's hardware lineup, the rollout is notable for the absence of the hypertension (high blood pressure) notification feature in the Indian market. This health-monitoring capability, which has been a primary focus of the marketing for the new series, is currently unavailable to Indian users. The company has not provided a specific timeline for when this feature might be enabled or cleared for use in the country. The launch proceeds as planned despite this limitation, with the device maintaining its premium positioning in the Indian tech market.
