If you buy a GPS-only version, it should work in both countries with the paired iPhone. There are essentially two cellular versions of the watch - one for North America and one for everywhere else. And they are incompatible. Check the model number here and see if it will work in both countries:

Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple


BTW, a GPS-only watch can do everything a GPS+Cellular watch can as long as it is near the paired iPhone. And there is no additional monthly charge with your carrier.
