How to add apps on Apple Watch without an iPhone? To give some background information, I had an iPhone that is connected to my Apple account but I lost it. After I lost it I got an Apple Watch and used my mom’s phone to get it setup. My problem is that I want to download apps that require an iPhone but I can’t use my mom’s phone because she already has a main watch set up with it. Does anybody know a way that I could download them without an iPhone?

How to install apps on kid's apple watch? I want to install an app on my kid's apple watch and this app has a "phone companion" app, so it should be installed on the phone first. But when I install the app on my phone, it does not appear in the list of apps in the watches app. What is wrong?
