Can a smartwatch without a sim card connect to wifi if it is never paired to a phone?

Are there any smartwatches that can connect directly to wifi without having a sim card or connecting to a phone via bluetooth?

I believe most Android Wear watches can connect to WiFi, but you still need to pair them to a BT phone FIRST. They will still be tied to the phone's notifications, you just don't need to be near the phone (as long as the watch has WiFi). I don't know of any standalone Wi-Fi only watches, however.
