Go somewhere without your iPhone and where you are not within range of a previously trusted WiFi site. You will need a good cell signal and some buildings will block the signal (it is a small antenna in the Watch).

If it is connected to your iPhone or a trusted WiFi network it will not connect to cellular.

Sure. I walk in a nearby park so I can assure you it works. I can even tell you the exact point when it will reconnect with my WiFi.
