Can I still use this without cellular? Or will it constantly harass me about a lack of account configured?

According to the setup page, you can set up cellular later, and remove a cellular plan at any time, so it sounds like you should be ok. I currently have a GPS only Series 3 watch though so I'm not sure.

Does anyone use this with android?
If you're asking whether the iphone can be paired with an android phone the answer is no
However, it operates with offline functions once you have it setup (this is my use case since I have an android as my main phone and also the apple watch)

Basically I used a spare iphone for setup
Then I mostly use the watch for fitness (great for runs as I can store music offline and it has onboard GPS) so I don't need to carry my phone
The majority of watch apps require data syncing with the iphone though so it's useless to me

What was the reason to get the apple watch? You could have gone with a Garmin?

Costco has series 6 for the same price. Is this a better deal?
This is stainless steel which in general expensive compared to Costco's aluminum case offering.

I have the 44mm Series 5 GPS/Cellular from BB and did not set up cell service with it. It has no nag screens, etc. about the lack of cellular. It just connects with my iPhone via bluetooth.

It's kind of a long story but basically I thought the Garmins were too big/bulky
For my use case it was to replace a fitbit so all I want is GPS + music + sleep tracking + something really light
I run a decent amount (roughly 20 miles a week) but I'm not crazy like all the Garmin people
I also like that there's a strong developer community for the apple so there's always hope that something can be improved with software

That said, if something comes along that is better for me, I would switch in a heartbeat (pun intended Smilie)
Its really annoying to have to charge the watch every day even if I use only "basic" functions

Yes you can. I've used SS4 for more than a year without cellular service.

Apple watches can't be used with android phones.

Android watches, however, can be used with iPhones.
