Apple Watch

My son wants an Apple Watch but no one in our household has an iPhone. Is it possible to set up and use an Apple Watch without an iPhone paired to it?

Can you use a watch without owning an iphone? I would like to purchase an Apple Watch SE for my granddaughter but nobody in her household has an iPhone. My granddaughter goes have an iPad so does she need an iPhone, get away with pairing it to her iPad, or it will not function without?

Apple Watch to an Ipad I am considering an apple watch for my son, but don't want to have to buy another iphone. My friend has connected her son's apple watch to his ipad, how is this possible considering all replies say you need to have a phone?

No,an apple watch must be paired to an iphone,it can be setup as a family sharing watch but it still has to be paired with a family members iphone.
