Apple Watch Series 3 GPS vs GPS Cellular

So does GPS + Cellular mean that you have to go through a carrier a pay monthly for the watch and if so does that mean I could just get the GPS version and pay it in full as is? Or no? If someone can help me on this subject that would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks in advance!
