Apple Watch 10: Getting cellular added later

I have just purchased an Apple Watch 10 series with GPS only.

If I decide to add cellular onto it later, can I have this done or do I need the watch with GOS/Cellular?

Thanks

Hello,

It is not possible to use cellular on a GPS Apple Watch since the cellular hardware is not present. You will need a GPS + Cellular Apple Watch to use cellular.

I hope this helps!
