If I purchase the Apple Watch cellular, would I need to pay monthly fee to use without my phone?

If you use the cellular function, you must always have an account to do so. You also must use a cellular service provider that supports Watch.
If you don't use the cellular function, but as an overpriced GPS version, no you do not have to have an account.
M1 Mac mini, macOS 11.5.1; Watch, series 5 GPS/cellular, watchOS 7.6.1; iPad Pro 2nd Gen, iPadOS 14.7.1; iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14.7.1; iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14.7.1; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 14.7 HomePods, audioOS 14.7 and Airport Express w/ Airplay 2
it depends on the country and operator. when activating it shows whether you will pay or not.
Thank you so much for your response.
