the Apple Watch has largely been an iPhone accessory rather than a standalone product

The Apple Watch does not need an iPhone to function.

You could also point to AirPods. They sold a lot of them because a lot of people had iPhones

AirPods work with any Bluetooth device, not just iPhones.

But in both cases, the overwhelming majority of people that get them have iPhones, because there is additional and important functionality that comes with the connection.
