Setup Apple Watch celullar while abroad

Hello,


I'm living in Austria and since my Austrian phone number doesnt support the apple watch, i want to activate my Portuguese one which supports (Vodafone) but when i go to the apple watch settings, says "Apple Watch cannot use cellular while roaming internationally" and I can figure how to resolve it.

Watch Cellular option requires the same network provider as for the iphone and usually requires a contract. The provider will offer an extension eSIM plan for the Watch for an additional fee. It is unlikely you will get a Watch eSIM activated for a temporary period but contact the providers for the country you are wanting to use it in
