Apple Watch GPS plus Cellular vs. GPS only

hi, i've noticed that there are a few watches, some say GPS + cellular and some say GPS only. If i already have an iphone XR, do i need the cellular?

You don't have to have the cellular version,the cellular version allows you to make calls and send texts without your phone present,the GPS only version requires that you have your phone with you to make calls and send texts.
