Apple Watch 6 (stainless steel) without cellular?

I would like to upgrade to the Apple Watch 6 (stainless steel), but am noticing it is only available for purchase with GPS+Cellular. I do not want the monthly charge of cellular usage, and am perfectly fine using it just with GPS. If purchased, do I have to use the cellular capability or is there a way to turn that feature off completely?

Thank you for all and any help.

No you don't have to activate the cellular plan and you can just use the watch as if it is a GPS only watch.The only difference is that to make calls and send texts you need to have your phone with you.
