Apple Watch GPS+Cellular

Hello,

I am living in Luxembourg and I am thinking to buy an Apple Watch GPS+Cellular, but apparently the Cellular service is not yet available in Luxembourg. Do you know if and when will it be activated?

Anyway, a guy in an Orange shop told me to buy the device online and then to do an e-Sim.

This will allow the watch to work with the cellular mode.

Do you confirm if it is true or not?

This is not true,for the cellular watch to work it must be on the same network carrier as your phone.

The watch already has an Esim built in and this Esim uses your phones number.

One option is to buy the cellular version and activate the cellular plan later.

This explains it;
