Since watchOS and iOS are country specific, not all features might be supported. In case of an Apple Watch 9, 10 or Ultra, the O2 sensor will not work for models sold in the USA, for example.

watchOS - Feature Availability - Apple

iOS and iPadOS - Feature Availability - Apple


The built in hardware might not support all carriers, if it comes to LTE:

Have a look at this article:

Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple

iPhone - Supported 5G and LTE networks - Apple



And the warranty for your Apple Watch may also be restricted to the country of purchase. In case of a warranty claim, you will have to bring it back to the country of purchase. Apple does not ship internationally.

Apple may restrict warranty service for hardware products to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
