Hello CSinPAZ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. In order to set up an Apple Watch the iPhone will need to have Bluetooth turned on and be connected to either a Wi-Fi or cellular network. An Apple Watch can be used when the iPhone isn't nearby. In this case, you can use a Wi-Fi network to send and receive data on your Apple Watch. Take a look at the following resource for more information: Use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby - Apple Support
Have a nice day!
