Apple Watch series 6

I was told I could use an Apple Watch with the cellular feature without having a cellular plan for it (yes I know it will only have gps without a plan). The watch won’t complete the setup with my phone. Is this because I don’t have a data/cellular plan for the watch?

That should not be the problem setting up your watch. See the "Set up cellular on your Apple Watch" section in:

Set up cellular on Apple Watch - Apple Support

"During setup, look for the option to set up cellular, then follow the onscreen steps.

You can also set up cellular later from the Apple Watch app."

Where does he setup fail?
