You will have to pay your phone cellular carrier money to have the Apple Watch with cellular, but. If you decide you don’t want to have cellular, or you don’t want to pay for it anymore, you can cancel the plan and use the watch as GPS only. You will always be able to add the cellular back if you want to.
