Q: Does the iphone need to be on a data plan to pair with apple watch?

My company provides android devices for cell phones, but I use Apple products (iPads, iPod touches) to connect with my kids while I'm traveling for work.  I would like to be able to use an apple watch without buying a second phone and paying carrier charges.  I know it can't pair with an iPad or iPod touch, but I was considering picking up a used iPhone 5 but not activating it with a cell phone carrier.  This way it would pair with the apple watch and be able to provide data on wifi connections.  Has anyone tried this before?
