I want to be able to track Apple Watch when it is away from iPhone that is linked to Apple ID. . User guide says that this is the default but it only shows iPhone in find my friends. Any suggestions?

You should use the "Find My" app - not the "Find My Friends" app. For more info, see:
Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item - Apple Support
If your Apple Watch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
