Apple Watch fall detection
1)Does the fall detection feature require the cellular watch? or will it work without the cellular connection?
2) Do all the watches have the capability for the cellular connection?

Only the GPS+Cellular model has actual cellular capabilities. The GPS only version can make phone calls through its paired iPhone with caveats.
Fall detection is available on both the GPS only and the GPS+Cellular versions of the Watch with caveats for the GPS only version.
