Do I have to have a separate phone line dedicated to my Apple Watch for it to work? I have an older Apple Watch but I don’t use it because we disconnected the line. Is it possible to use certain apps as long as I have the phone next to my Apple Watch? Like Health apps and walking stuff apps?
The watch uses your phone's number;
Apple Watch (GPS only) lets you send and receive text messages, answer phone calls and receive notifications when it’s connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The built-in GPS works independently of your iPhone for distance, pace and route mapping in workouts.

...and a Cellular Apple Watch where you do not activate the cellular radio, will be have just like a GPS only Apple Watch. As fireyjack says, in GPS only mode the Apple Watch will do everything the cellular mode will do as long as your iPhone is nearby.
