International Roaming Apple Watch Vodafone

Why is international roaming with my Apple Watch (model 6, iOS 9.2) not working on Vodafone? The watch connects to the network but I can’t use my plan. iPhone works without any problem.

Apple Watch Ultra on Vodafone UK seems to lose connection to cellular data plan Worked for a few minutes (after an hour with Vodafone tech support setting it up), then said "Your vodafone UK account is not eligible to enable mobile service on your Apple Watch. Contact vodafone UK at 191 for more information.". The Vodafone UK data plan is shown as 'not in use' and the only options on the 'i' are 'remove Vodafone UK plan' or 'cancel'. Vodafone can't or won't seem to help! Any ideas ? Is this a known issue?

Apple Watch international roaming International roaming is said to be possible with Watch OS9. I am from Finland, now in Spain, and I can’t get it working. My watch 7 connects to Vodafone and few others but they all do the same. I get Green light with 4G, but after 10 sec connection cuts. To me it looks like handshaking problem but I don’t know. I have my iPhone in that cellular networks without any problem. It looks like any cellular accepts my phone but not my watch. My operator claims that the multi SIM Service works properly. I try first connect iPhone to cellular, then the watch to the same network. Have I done something wrong ? What is the right way then?

Apple has nothing to do with international roaming or cellular data, that is something you pay a monthly service to Vodafone.
