Hi
Yes, you can.
Apple Watch (GPS + Cellular) has a built-in eSIM that copies information from the iPhone's SIM card.
The built-in cellular features require a carrier plan that specifically includes support for Apple Watch (including the carrier activating the device on the plan):
Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple
If you do not wish to sign up with a supported carrier for now, then you cannot currently use the built-in cellular feature.
However, Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) can still be paired, set up and used for other features, acting like a GPS-only model. The cellular feature can then be enabled later, if and when you are using a compatible service plan on your iPhone.
