Apple watch - GPS + cellular - New Zealand

Hi

I want to buy an apple watch. Having reviewed the model options, my clear preference is to buy a "GPS + cellular" watch. These phones are not available in NZ. If I buy one in the UK, will it function upon return to NZ? Also, would I need to avoid setting it up with a UK sim before returning to NZ?

Many thanks

You can buy and use cellular & GPS. However as they is no Apple Watch cellular provider in New Zealand you Watch will will as a GPS model only. I have the cellular version Nike. I yet to connect it to a plan here in the UK. And can say works fantastic no issues. The only thing I cannot do is use it make calls away from iPhone if I leave it at home. Which is what the cellular version with a plan will do.
