If your iPhone has Dual SIM support, then you can get a 2nd phone number your iPhone on the eSIM and then attach the Apple Watch to that phone number.

Yes my iPhone has dual sim but I would like to have the 2 things separate. And only family can contact me on the watch when I have no iPhone with me.

My carrier provider would charge me much more if one number is connected to 2 devices instead of just one (no additional charge because I already have this second number)

That’s why my question. Would be very convenient for me to have a number on the watch but set on an iPhone with another number... not sure if that’s possible

Not possible.

The Apple Watch is an iPhone accessory.

The Apple Watch Shares the iPhone's phone number. It never gets its own private number. As pointed out, if you want to 2 numbers then you have to assign 2 numbers to your iPhone and then associate the Apple Watch with just one of those 2 numbers.
