Apple Watch Series 12 starts at C$549 in Canada and ₹56,900 in India, according to Apple’s press releases for those countries. Apple has not published a UK price, and no Store page shows per-size, titanium, ceramic or cellular prices in served content, so this page covers the two confirmed figures and what is still missing.
Both countries are in the first wave. Apple’s press release says Series 12 is available to pre-order from September 9 and arrives in stores on Friday, September 18, in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, India, Japan, the UAE and more than 50 other countries and regions, as our Apple Watch Series 12 announcement roundup reported.

Apple Watch Series 12 price in Canada
Apple’s Canadian press release lists Apple Watch Series 12 from C$549. That is the only Series 12 figure Apple has published for Canada: the release does not break out the 46mm case, titanium, ceramic or cellular models, and Apple’s Store page for Canada does not show those prices in served content.

For scale, the same Canadian release cycle put the Apple Watch Ultra 4 at C$1,099, so the gap between the cheapest Series 12 and the cheapest Ultra 4 is C$550 in Canada. In the US the equivalent gap is $400, from $399 to $799.
Canada is one of the launch countries, so pre-orders opened on September 9 and the watch reaches stores on September 18, the same day as the iPhone 18 Pro, which starts at C$1,749 in Canada.
Apple Watch Series 12 price in India
Apple’s press release for India lists Apple Watch Series 12 from ₹56,900. As in Canada, that is a starting price only; Apple has not published Indian prices for the 46mm size, the titanium or ceramic cases, or the GPS plus Cellular models, and Apple’s Store page for India does not show them in served content.
The Ultra 4 starts at ₹1,09,900 in India, so the Ultra premium there is ₹53,000. India is also in the first wave, with pre-orders from September 9 and in-store availability on September 18, the same day the iPhone 18 Pro, from ₹1,64,900, goes on sale there.
Apple’s Indian press release does not mention an EMI or cashback offer for Series 12. The No Cost EMI and ₹7,000 cashback on Apple’s Store page for India apply to the iPhone 18 Pro, and Apple has not said whether the watch gets anything similar.
The UK price Apple has not published
Apple’s UK newsroom had not published the Series 12 or Ultra 4 press releases at the time of writing, and Apple’s Store page for the UK does not show watch prices in served content. Apple’s press release does name the UK among the September 18 launch countries, so the watch is coming; only the price is missing.
We are not estimating a UK figure. Apple priced the iPhone 18 Pro at £1,199 in the UK against $1,199 in the US, but a watch price should not be inferred from a phone’s.
How the starting prices compare
| Country | Series 12 from | Ultra 4 from | Ultra 4 premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $399 | $799 | $400 |
| Canada | C$549 | C$1,099 | C$550 |
| India | ₹56,900 | ₹1,09,900 | ₹53,000 |
| United Kingdom | Not published | Not published | Not published |
In the US the Series 12 starting price is unchanged from the Apple Watch Series 11, which also launched from $399 in September 2025. Apple’s Canadian and Indian releases do not state last year’s local prices, so we are not making a year-over-year claim for those markets.
Apple’s Upgrade lease, from $11.99 a month over 24 months for Series 12 and $24.99 a month for Ultra 4, appears only in the US release; Apple has not announced a monthly option for Canada or India.
Every configuration, including the base model, has the S11 chip, the Health Sensing System with heart rate every 5 seconds and HRV every 5 minutes, the Readiness score, up to 24 hours of battery, and Ceramic Shield 2 on aluminum models. Apple’s US footnote ties the $399 price to the 42mm model; whether the same size applies to the C$549 and ₹56,900 figures is not stated in either regional release.
What Apple has not said
- The UK price for Series 12 or Ultra 4.
- Prices for the 46mm case, titanium, ceramic, Hermès or GPS plus Cellular models in Canada, India or any other country.
- Band prices, in any country.
- Whether Canada or India get an Apple Upgrade style monthly plan.
- Whether the Apple Watch SE line, which went unavailable before the event, returns at a new price.
Pre-orders are open now in Canada and India, with delivery and in-store availability on Friday, September 18. If you need the UK figure or a specific titanium, ceramic or cellular price, check Apple’s Store page for your country directly, because those numbers are not in any Apple release we can cite; our event recap has everything else announced on September 9.
