Here is a link from Apple listing all the carriers around the world who support Apple Watch --> Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple


There does not appear to be any carrier in Croatia who support Apple Watch, so you won't be able to set up cellular service on an Apple Watch there. Sorry.


You can use the watch as a GPS only watch, which will provide all the features to your watch, as long as your paired iPhone is nearby.

The carrier is responsible for being to support Apple Watch. Your carrier or for that matter, no carrier in Croatia has set up the infrastructure to support Apple Watch. The watch HAS to share the same number as the phone.


Unfortunately, you live where you can't use the cellular side of Apple Watch.


Tell your carrier you want to be able to use cellular on your watch. It's up to them to be able to support it. But there would be no way today, you can set up service on the watch until your carrier is able to.
