Can I set up an Apple Watch for my son without have a cellular model?

Today me and my son went to go get him a new smartwatch. The Apple Watch was a non-cellular model as I didn't want to get him a phone number just yet. I also won't get him an iPhone until he is 17. I have currently bought it, and I have never had an Apple Watch before, so I don't know how to set up an Apple Watch of this spec. Can anyone help?
