Travel out of USA

I will be in Europe. Does my Apple Watch need to be in airplane mode all the time or are there other settings? Thank you.

Airplane Mode Does anyone know.. If my watch, (series 5) is on Airplane mode in a different country, will I still be able to use some of the features (such at the health app for heart rate, ECG, etc)?

Moving abroad with an Apple Watch 7 I currently have an Apple Watch 7 GPS+Celluar and moving abroad Panama, that doesn't have a carrier that supports Apple Watch yet. I also have to travel between Europe and Colombia and have local cellular numbers there, with carriers that support Apple Watch. I want to ask if it is correct: My apple watch 7 will work in Panama only as a GPS model? Will my apple watch work as regular in Colombia? Will my apple watch work as regular in Europe?

To save battery while out of the country turn off cellular.

No,but if the watch is the cellular version then that part won't work,the watch will otherwise work as a GPS only watch,so to make calls and send texts you will need to have your phone with you.
