Can I just have an Apple Watch without iPhone

Well, although you can't set up an Apple Watch without an iPhone, you can set up an Apple Watch for someone who doesn't have an iPhone–a child, or another family member–using your iPhone. They will still be able to use many of the features of the Apple Watch.

Can you use an Apple Watch without owning an iPhone?

Apple Watch owners usually need their own iPhone to pair with the watch during the setup process. However, a feature called Family Setup offers a way around that requirement so you can set up an Apple Watch for a child or another family member who doesn't own an iPhone.
