Does Ultra require cell service?

Will Ultra function as a regular non-cellular Apple Watch if I were to choose not to add a service plan? I like the watch but wish it had a non-cell option as I'm not interested in the on-going monthly cost.

I'm going with 'Yes' for my answer. It will work like a normal non-cellular watch.


The specs say, "Wireless service plan required for cellular service." It doesn't say that it's required for the watch to function.
