I got offered to buy an Apple Watch 2 that was bought in the us. I live in Sweden and will primarily use it here and just want to confirm that it will work exactly the same as if it was bought here originally?

Original Title: does an apple watch ultra 2 bought in the us work on sweden? thinking both of blood ozygen sensor and potentially worse reception?
If you are considering buying a used Watch then make sure the seller has followed the procedures for selling, gifting, or trading in an Watch
Otherwise you might wind up with a useless piece of hardware.
As far as blood oxygen it would depend on when that Ultra 2 was originally purchased as that sensor may have been disabled. Only the U.S. was affected by the ban, not the rest of the world. A recent update enabled the sensor but there are still legal proceedings going on over it.
The ban was applied to the unique U.S. model number. So the Apple Watch will always be subject to the behaviors inflicted on the U.S. models.
It will not behave the way a model purchased in your country will behave. At least not until after the patent expires in 2028 ( maybe )

Hi
thanks for that. What about different frequency bands which leads to bad reception?
According to what I have found in researching your question, U.S. models use different LTE bands than Europe and it would appear a U.S. Ultra 2 may not work at all in Europe. Apple watch models are region specific. The newly announced Apple watches support 5G now.
