Hi Kelso4x4!

It sounds like you have a question about feature availability when setting up an Apple Watch for a family member who doesn’t have an iPhone, and we're happy to help. You read about feature availability here:

Cheers!

All Apps as well as third party will be available with Family Setup. Here is a great overview of features.

For the audible part most apps require Airpods or a bluetooth device for listening.
