    May sound like a stupid question but do you see any problems with using a US Smartwatch in Ireland.
    It looks like BestBuy in the US will have a good discount of the Fossil Explorist Gen 4 for Black Friday and I was thinking of ordering

    Thanks

    A Wi-Fi one should be fine - I know people who got Apple and Samsung watches in USA. I wouldn't get a 4G/LTE watch as they may not be compatible with SIMs here.

    4G watches are useless here as no telco offers companion SIMs nevermind eSIMs for Apple Watches.


    That'll work here, just beware its Android not Wear OS.

    Must have looked at the wrong spec sheet, apologies.

    I've a Verizon Watch 24 and it works just fine.
    I got it for a song but did turn off the embedded SIM card.
    Works great, recently updated to the latest WearOS version too.
