Apple watch series 6 GPS + CELLULAR

Hi, I live in Hungary where Apple Watch series support GSM but I work in Slovakia where Apple Watch with GSM is not in offer. If I buy watch in Hungary will GSM work in Slovakia?

Thanks

The Cellular + GPS Apple Watch shares the iPhone's phone number, and the carriers that support the Apple Watch charge a monthly fee. In the U.S. the fee is $10 per month. Here is a list of carriers that support the Apple Watch:

The Apple Watch does not support roaming, so when you leave the coverage area for the carrier that is providing Apple Watch cellular support, your Apple Watch will act as if it is a GPS only Apple Watch


The GPS only Apple Watch can do Everything the Cellular model can do AS LONG AS your iPhone is nearby, where nearby is generally somewhere in the same moderately sized home. The Cellular model allows you to leave your iPhone at home while you go for a walk, run, bike ride.
