Only Aluminium S6 can be non-cellular :(

Am I seeing this right? I am forced to have a cellular watch if I want SS or Titanium?

The S5 was this way as well.

That’s pretty much how it’s always been. You don’t have to activate the cellular.  won’t force you into it.

Pretty sure this was the case since cellular debuted with the Series 3. Only aluminum models are GPS-only. You can choose to buy a cellular model but not activate it though.

That's how it's been since cellular came available.

As above, you needn't activate it if you don't wish to do so and it's not locked to any carrier. At least not when bought from Apple AFAIK.

But forced you to pay for it if you want stainless steel.

SS, Titanium, Hermès, and ceramic are premium editions. It makes sense for them to only be available with cellular.

It has been this way since cellular debuted with the Series 3. You don't have to activate a cellular plan of course if you get a watch that has it... and even if you don't activate a plan it will STILL WORK for 911 calls, so if you are without your iPhone and an emergency happens you can still make a call.
