You can buy a cellular Apple Watch and then NOT sign up for cellular service with your iPhone carrier. But then why not buy a GPS only model. Unless you want the Stainless Steel model, then that only comes in a cellular model, but you can ignore the cellular and use as a GPS only model.
If you mean get cellular service on an Apple Watch WITHOUT paying a carrier for the service, then no, you cannot do that.
