Yes, you are right - this question is some what out of focus - but I think that this question bothers some people anyways ;-)

According to the announcements made at Google I/O 2014, technically speaking, any Wear-device is a stand-alone device: It can work without a connected phone and it can run its own applications (but they have to be installed by using a paired Android-phone).

But while the Wear-device is stand-alone you probably won't have much fun with it, when you don't pair it with a phone and use it as an accessory: without a network-connection, there won't be much you can do (except from showing the current time and how many steps you have taken).
