If you use the cellular function, you must always have an account to do so. You also must use a cellular service provider that supports Watch.
If you don't use the cellular function, but as an overpriced GPS version, no you do not have to have an account.

it depends on the country and operator. when activating it shows whether you will pay or not.
Thank you so much for your response.
