Good to know I don’t have the problem. 
Sad to know that I can’t just take my watch on European water sports, which was partly why I bought myself the Ultra. 😖

I feel the same way about my minimalist day walks in Switzerland. Garmin offline topo maps and blue charts is what I used on the first version of the Garmin Epix. And now I left it at home in UK because I thought I could get away with Apple Watch since that hyped up roaming update arrived…. Personally if I got an Ultra, I would try my luck to submit a complaint at the Apple Store and maybe they may take it back! O2 is the official Apple Watch partner so if they can’t enable a practical travel friendly watch to be practical for travel, you have certainly been wronged! It’s back to Garmin for me.

Its Apple that are at fault, as seemingly the only networks that support roaming (Based on Feb 23) is limited to AT&T (and other US Carriers)..in the US and then only in Mexico 

 

Apple have never offered it to networks in the UK (Or anywhere else)...

You can buy a LTE Garmin 945 that works globally at a cost.. 

And have to agree Garmin is the way to go, 7 days battery Life is the best thing... and it just works
