Where did you got that impression?
Apple Watch have lots of apps. It can make phone call and do voice recording without the phone nearby.
Some models have built in cellular as well, so it's possible to use one without your phone entirely.

I know some minimalists who use one as their mobile phone exclusively

All of which are extensions of the phone functions

Unless those glasses are just display for iPhone or at least lack cameras it will not go well for them

Curious, do you have a source for this apart from Apple's marketing?

I asked for a source apart from Apple's own marketing. That's just a Apple marketing page

try googling yourself then
Apple Watch is just extension of screen and notifications from the phone, so there is no overlap.
AirTags have nothing to do with AI stuff.
AirPods apparently now have some translation stuff, but again no constant monitoring.
Apple does not produce glasses and seeing the backlash to Meta's glasses I don't think they will. A pin or pendant might be more acceptable, although hiding it will be just as big of an issue as with the creepy Meta glasses, but any AI thing Apple makes should be a separate product if they want to maximize profits.
