Apple Watch GPS + Cellular. Is Cellular required?

I love the Apple Watch Stainless Sapphire models for the looks and durability. However I don’t need cellular. I’m getting a series 4 gold Stainless and it seems there are no “GPS only” versions of this model. What happens if I choose not to set up cellular?

It works just like a GPS model.


And a GPS model, with the iPhone nearby, does Everything a cellular model does.


The cellular can just leave the iPhone at home while you go for a walk, run, bike ride, etc...
