On their homepage, Apple states the following restriction for compatibility:

Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) requires an iPhone 6 or later with iOS 11 or later. Apple Watch and iPhone service provider must be the same. [...]

Does that mean that only the GPS + Cellular model requires an iPhone 6 or later and would a non-Cellular model be compatible with the iPhone 5s? I am a bit confused.

Direct from Apple's website:


Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS model) requires an iPhone 5s or later with iOS 11. Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS/LTE) an iPhone 6 or later with iOS 11.
