Hello schuzeds,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities, and thanks for posting your Apple Watch cellular data question. I'm glad to see if I can help out.
To use data on your Apple Watch without Wi-Fi, you would need to activate a cellular plan with your carrier that's specific to the Apple Watch, so your Apple Watch wouldn't use the cellular plan data for your iPhone. For reference, you'll find some great information about this in the links below:
Use Apple Watch with a cellular network
Set up cellular on your Apple Watch
As a side note, this link has helpful details about how you can Use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby, which might be useful.
I hope I've answered your question. Take care.
