Buying an apple watch

Hi,


If I buy an Apple Watch in England can I use it with an American phone and sim or vice versa (if I buy it in America can I use it with my English phone and sim)?


Many thanks,

Caitlin

You can purchase a GPS only watch in England and use it in the US with a US phone and SIM. However, you will not be able to get a US GPS+Cellular Watch and activate the cellular in England and vice versa. See this about what you can do with the Apple Watch when the paired iPhone is not around. How to use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby - Apple Support
