No.

Make sure you read the footnotes.

1. To receive SMS, MMS, or push notifications from

third-party apps on your cellular Apple Watch, your paired iPhone must

be powered on and connected to Wi-Fi or cellular, but it doesn't need to

be nearby. You also need to be signed in to iMessage on your iPhone.
