Use the Apple Watch series 3 abroad the same way I would here

Hello! I study abroad for most of the year and I am home for awhile. I was wondering if it was possible to get the Apple Watch Series 3 (Just GPS) and be able to use it the same way I would over here. I would most likely pair it to my Nederlands Phone. Since it would not be the cellular I assume there should not be a problem, but I want to make sure before I buy it.

The GPS model Apple Watch works everywhere you iPhone works, as it is dependent on your iPhone's radios most of the time.


And if your iPhone is nearby, the GPS only Apple Watch can do Everything the cellular model can do. The cellular model can just leave the iPhone at home while you go for a run, hike, bike ride, etc...

The warranty is the only issue, in that you will need to return to the country where you purchased the Apple Watch if you need warranty repairs.
