See the "Use a cellular network" section in:
About Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
A GPS (only) watch can do everything a GPS + Cellular can do as long as your iPhone is nearby.
With a Cellular model, you can make calls and use data or apps without your iPhone nearby.
To use the cellular feature, you MUST have an eligible cellular service plan with a supported carrier and your iPhone and Apple Watch must use the same carrier. For more info. see:
