Apple Watch GPS vs. Cellular

I’m looking to purchase a new Series 6 watch. If I buy the gps only model now but decide in 6 months that I want to add cellular to it will I be able to add that functionality to the same watch or do I need to buy a new watch entirely?

You will need to buy a new watch. The cellular feature cannot be added later. However, you can buy the cellular version and choose not to activate the cellular option until later. For more info, see the "Set up cellular on your Apple Watch" section in:
