I'd rather the Apple Watch replace the iPhone. Apple doesn't seem totally against the idea, but they don't seem to be in any hurry either.

  An Apple Watch with cellular capabilities is that? I presume they want it connected to an iPhone at least to maintain iPhone sales, but you can leave the iPhone at home.

    That's somewhat true, but not reflective of reality. Most third party apps are interfaces to the phone app. Very few use local storage. Many restrictions exist on the assumption you also use a phone (iMessages only showing last 24 hours, unable to set as primary Find My device, etc).

    Right, when they first came out, they were severely tethered to your iPhone. Now you can do quite a lot from the watch itself, and the phone is mostly needed only for setup. So you can't quite replace your phone with your watch, but Apple might make it possible someday.
