Apple Watch Question

Recently I've been thinking about purchasing a Apple Watch Series 5 GPS + Cellular and I was wondering if I purchased it but did not want to set up cellular first could I just use the apple watch with my phone near me and basically treat it like an apple watch series 5 without cellular and have it connected to my phone and at a later date set it up with cellular? Im sorry if this seemed confusing I tried to word it best as possible.

Yes, you can do that. See the 'Set up cellular on Apple Watch' section in:

Set up cellular on Apple Watch - Apple Support

"During setup, look for the option to set up cellular, then follow the onscreen steps.

You can also set up cellular later from the Apple Watch app"
