Apple Watch in different countries

Hi, if I buy an Apple Watch in an European country and then use it in another European country will it work? Because our official apple provider sells Apple Watch series 8 for 500€ but on amazon.de it is way cheaper.

A GPS-only watch will work anywhere as long as the paired iPhone is nearby. There are essentially two versions of the GPS+Cellular watches. One for North America and one for everywhere else. And they are incompatible. Even though the right model watch should work on any country in Europe, whether or not the watch will work on a particular European network is up to the network provider - not Apple.
