Can you still text on Apple Watch without the cellular version, as long as my iPhone is nearby? Or can you not text on the watch without cellular at all?

The GPS only version can do "Everything" the Cellular model can do when your iPhone is nearby. The Cellular version can continue to do things, when the iPhone is left behind while you go for a run, hike, bike ride, swim, etc....
