Japanese ForeAthlete 235 Music not working on Brazilian Garmin Connect App

I recently bought a Garmin ForeAtlhete 235 Music in Japan but it seems it doesn't connect to my Brazilian Garmin Connect App on Android. I've read there are two different software versions: APAC and ROW, so I guess ForeAthlete would be APAC and the ForeRunner would be ROW, is that correct? The only 235 I can see in my list to connect is the ForeRunner, so I believe I should download the Japanese Garmin Connect App to make it work? is that correct? The main drawback is that I cannot just change back and forth between google app store regions so easily, it seems there's a 1 year gap to switch back. Is there a way to switch between APAC and ROW? that would be easier. Any software update or any other procedure to make my ForeAthlete work on RestOfTheWorld Garmin Connect App? Right now only able to use the sport watch but unable to upload my data to Garmin Connect and that's pitty once I want to keep track of my historical data.
