Cellular Apple Watch SE in different country

Hi I have previously been living in Australia and purchased a Cellular SE Apple Watch there. My question is now that I am moving back to America, will the cellular part of the Apple Watch work or is it only usable in Australia?

Unfortunately the cellular portion will only work in Australia and other countries that use the same model of watch.


The Apple Watch hardware is region based and carriers will not activate a watch meant for one specific. region in another region.


The watch itself will work as a GPS only watch with no cellular service activated.
