Hi
No - the watch cannot be used to make phone calls when you are running without also taking your iPhone along.
Apple Watch does not have built-in cellular capabilities, so can only be used to make and receive phone calls:
- When it is connected to the paired iPhone via either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
- When Wi-Fi calling is enabled and your watch is connected to a known Wi-Fi network (subject to Wi-Fi calling being supported by your carrier and cellular plan).
