Apple Watch 3 Series GPS

I’m looking to purchase a 3 Series GPS Apple Watch but I’m not sure if I need to have an extra data plan on my cellular account. If I purchase a GPS Apple Watch will I need to open another line on my cellular account?

Only if you purchase a GPS + Cellular watch and choose to activate the cellular option on the watch. If you purchase the GPS only version, you can do everything the GPS + Cellular version does as long as your iPhone is nearby. For more info, see:
