Hello,


The Apple Watch still comes in regional models which is likely the cause of this issue. I do not think you have any options besides replacing it with a regionally specific model.


Set up cellular on Apple Watch - Apple Support

"Make sure that you have an eligible cellular service plan with a supported carrier. Your iPhone and Apple Watch must use the same carrier,* and you must be within your carrier's network when you set up cellular on your watch."


"To cover the LTE and UMTS bands used around the world, cellular models of Apple Watch come in regional models for the Americas, China mainland, and Europe/Asia Pacific. Unlike iPhone, there isn't a worldwide Apple Watch model that supports all cellular bands used globally."
