If i have apple watch 4 GPS + cellular, do i have to use the cellular?

So if i didn't inset a data sim, I've the option to use the watch as a gps model and connect it to the iPhone normally?

Or i forced to use the watch data (excluding using wifi)?

The cellular functions are completely optional. If you don’t set it up on your iPhone’s calling plan the watch will behave exactly like the non-cellular version when connected by Bluetooth to your iPhone. You don’t even need to tell your network about it unless the extra device means you need more data for the phone.
