Can I use an Apple Watch without connecting to an iPhone?

Why can’t I get AUDIBLE notifications on my iPhone if I’m paired with an I watch?

No. An Apple Watch requires an iPhone to setup and use.

Notifications will only go to the watch if the iPhone is locked.

If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked.
