Hello cetince!

Can you be more specific... what type of app are you looking for?

Just for clarification, there are no Apple watch apps that work on Android. The Apple watch only works with the iPhone.

If the question is can you download a third party app to the Apple Watch without a companion iPhone - no, you cannot. If the question is are there any third party apps that run only on the Apple Watch that do not have a companion iPhone app - no, there are not.

Thank you very much for your answers, sorry for the confusion. The question was 'can you download a third party app to the Apple Watch without a companion iPhone'

Right, apps are always installed via the Watch app on the iPhone. At least for now. Since they've added cellular capability, I wonder if a future release will be more stand-alone for app installs as well. Only time will tell.
