First Time Apple Watch Purchase

I want to buy my first Apple Watch. However I don't have an iPhone (Preparing to get that soon). So I want to know : Do I "Need" an iPhone to have an Apple Watch or can I use the watch without the need to have the iPhone ? Is the Apple Watch "Stand Alone" ?

You need an iPhone. See the following from Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

To set up and use your Apple Watch, you need an iPhone with the latest version of iOS
