As I also paid the full price for my AW4, I also want to have this very useful health function. So Apple please open it up for customers outside USA.

That’s regulatory issues in other countries. You can be sure that Apple wants to have this working everywhere.

It will hopefully don’t take ages, but Norway is a tiny country in comparison which will not be prioritised by Apple. Even if people are open for smart solutions here. Regulation might be likewise difficult as in outher countries like Germany. ...either way, we as customers can just wait and ask persistently.

As a European I don’t get it why military get these perks in the US. Why not other groups that likewise contribute to society? I understand students, though, as an investment into the future. 

Can they light up without the strange pattern (cross-like) in the middle of the tiles? I would like homogeneous light much better.

The next big question is how long is this going to take to get approval in other countries? Will it be a painfully slow roll out like ApplePay? If its not officially for diagnostic then surely the approval process should be quick in other countries - hopefully.

Painfully slow internal roll outs indeed: The carriers in Norway still do not support eSim for the watch for example. 

Mandatory clear labelling should be the minimum. Especially since you get some devices with cables and have no idea what kind of specs these cables have. 

Please inform us when the “one-in-all” cables are available. 

And thank you for this helpful article. It’s indeed a mess.
