Hi


No, you do not need to add the Apple Watch to your cell plan.


Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) can be used in conjunction with iPhone 5s or newer model and a service plan for your iPhone from any carrier.


Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) models do not have built-in cellular capabilities.


Any data consumed by Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) is consumed either via the paired iPhone (including Wi-Fi and cellular data) or via a direct connection between the watch and a compatible Wi-Fi network (when the watch cannot connect to the paired iPhone via Bluetooth).


A separate data plan for the Apple Watch is not required.
