I bought an Apple Watch in Kuwait, but I noticed the model number has 'ZP,' meaning it’s a Hong Kong version. I’m worried if the cellular and eSIM features will work here. The store assured me it would, and the LTE/UMTS bands seem to match. Can anyone confirm if I’ll have full cellular functionality before I open it?
Apple Watch Series 10
Just sign-up for Apple Watch cellular access with your iPhone carrier. If it does not work, you will find out at that time. Most non-US, non-Canada, non-Mexico, non-Puerto Rico Apple Watches interoperate everywhere outside of those 4 countries. The Series 9 and Series 10 Apple Watches even from those 4 countries also work internationally.
What you want to check is if there are Hong Kong features that are not supported. Check
watchOS - Feature Availability - Apple
to see what features are supported in the Hong Kong model, against what features are supported in Kuwait.

Will Hong Kong (ZP) Apple Watch Cellular Work in Kuwait?
