The cellular version of Apple Watch must be setup as a second device on your iPhone calling plan. This is done by your network provider, and they will probably have a small monthly charge for the service. Whether it needs an “extra line” for administration depends on your network, but the watch will always share your iPhone’s number and you never see or use the extra line except maybe on your monthly bill. The number for the extra line doesn’t even work for calls, it is only there to make the network internal systems happy.
