Apple Watch gps and cellular

When I check to buy an Apple Watch in the uae it has gps and cellular but when I check Apple Watch in Ireland it only has the option of GPS. I have to buy from Ireland so why does it not show cellular in Ireland. I need cellular because it seems cellular means I can go for a run and play music without needing my phone

The Cellular Apple Watch shares the iPhone's phone number.  This requires the iPhone cellular carrier to support the Apple Watch. To cover the LTE and UMTS bands used around the world, there are two separate models for Apple Watch Series 5, and three for Apple Watch Series 3.2 They have been optimized for use in the country of purchase, and not all models work in all countries or regions. There is no single model that supports roaming worldwide. To see which carriers in your country or region offer cellular service for Apple Watch, refer to this article:
