WHY WHY WHY WHY can't Apple Watch do email without being tethered to an iphone? This is such a huge and infuriating failing

If you have a GPS only Watch, then it needs the iPhone for data, unless you are connected to a known wi-fi network. The Apple Watch is an iPhone accessory, so unless you have a cellular version of the Watch, you need the iPhone for many tasks.

If you would like to troubleshoot the issue, you are going to need to share more information, or you can use the Contact Support link at the top right of the page here if you wish to ask your question and work with Apple.
