Do I need a SIM card for my Apple Watch?

I have just bought an Apple series 9 cellular watch and I have never had a cellular watch before so I’m going to be asking some simple questions about how to use it. Do I need a SIM card for it and how does it fit into the watch

The cellular models of the Apple Watch contain an eSIM. You set up service on it using the watch app on your phone to link it to your cellular provider.
