No, you cannot use an Apple Watch without an iPhone.
The Apple Watch is designed to be a companion device for the iPhone. It relies heavily on the iPhone for functionality and features, including:
- Setup and Activation: You must pair your Apple Watch with an iPhone to set it up and activate it.
- Data Storage and Processing: The Apple Watch stores and processes most of its data on the iPhone.
- Cellular Connectivity: Even if your Apple Watch has cellular connectivity, it requires an iPhone with an active cellular plan to make and receive calls or use cellular data.
- App Compatibility: The Apple Watch relies on the iPhone for app compatibility and updates.
While there are a few limited functionalities that can be used without an iPhone, such as:
- Time and Date: You can view the time and date on the Apple Watch even if it's not paired with an iPhone.
- Basic Fitness Tracking: You can use the Apple Watch to track basic fitness metrics like steps and heart rate, even if it's not paired with an iPhone.
However, these functionalities are limited compared to the full range of features available when paired with an iPhone.
