Im currently on series 1. Which version allows me to connect to custom wifi. I don't care about LTE and paying $120 a year for it but connecting to local wifi would be useful.
 
Correct, the watch can only connect to a "Known" Wi-Fi network. This means that you have to first connect to the Wi-Fi with your paired iPhone and then your Series 1, 2, 3 can connect directly to the Wi-Fi.

Connectivity - Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz)

There is no way to directly connect to a Wi-Fi network from any of the Apple Watches.
