    You need a watch with Word Wide type of firmware, which supports the full Unicode table, including Asian languages. The basic Instinct 2 models have small memory, and only support either the Asian languages (APAC versions), or the Western languages and character sets (RoW version). AFAIK, only Instinct 2X and Instinct 2 Crossover come in the WW version supporting both parts of the Unicode table.
