From support document;

For GPS + Cellular models, choose to keep or remove your cellular plan. 

  • If you want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, keep your plan. 
  • If you don't want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, remove your plan. If you aren't going to pair with a different watch or iPhone, you might need to contact your carrier to cancel your cellular subscription.
