Hi
Apple advises that new carriers are being added for Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS+ Cellular) all the time.
Apple's list of supported carriers is linked below. Note that MetroPCS is not currently listed and that prepaid plans are also not currently supported:
Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple
I suggest that you contact MetroPCS to ask whether they offer or intend to offer service plans for iPhone that include support for the built-in cellular feature on Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS+ Cellular).
