    Yes.

    The Apple Watch app

    Use the Apple Watch app on iPhone to customize watch settings and options, set up Apple Pay for Apple Watch, and visit the App Store, where you can download and install apps for Apple Watch. For information about the App Store, see Use and organize apps.

    Open the Apple Watch app. On iPhone, tap the Apple Watch app icon, then tap My Watch to see the settings for Apple Watch.


    Apple Watch requires an iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, SE, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, or 6s Plus and iOS 8.2 or later.

    Hi

     

    When viewing the Home screen on your iPhone:

     

    - Swipe down on the centre of the screen > in the Search box at the top of the screen, type "Watch" > when the Watch app icon is shown, tap on it to open the app:

    When looking for the icon manually, keep in mind that you may have moved it into a folder.
