I’m with you, for the most part. There are a couple vitals I would like to track for my own reasons, but yeah same otherwise. There are a few handy tools but none I can’t live without.
You can get the Apple Watch with cellular to receive calls, but I think it will only be a companion to your main phone.
Need the phone to sync, the watch can keep track of health data until it gets back close to the watch. If you have the cellular version, and an applicable data plan, you can make and receive calls with it without your phone, too.
Strictly speaking, they also have wifi, but power management on them (due to the limited battery) makes it pretty difficult to actually use effectively.
I honestly don’t care about health data, and would prefer it to not track that anyway for privacy reasons. I’m pretty healthy, so it’s really not a concern I have.
I just want to carry less crap when I’m riding my bike.

I thought it always needed the phone nearby, no? I’m really only interested if it’s 100% standalone.

If it has a SIM slot or eSIM then probably standalone.
