Apple Watch with same product code for two regions works in either with local carriers?

Is an Apple Watch that is sold in two different regions, but has the same product code in both regions, going to be usable with a local carrier in either region? Or are they artificially locked into the region of purchase and only allow roaming in the other region? I’m looking at the Apple Watches 9 and 10, which have the same product code in the US as in many EU countries. Thanks!

Series 10 has the same model number for Europe as for America, and so do Ultra 2 and series 9: Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple. The blood oxygen feature isn’t important enough to me to enter it into consideration and my understanding is that this feature is automatically switched off whilst you are in America.


What I’d like to know is whether I can buy a series 9 or 10 and use it back and forth between America and Europe, each time switching to a local carrier, and thus avoiding roaming charges.
