Are iPhone app notifications launched by default on Apple Watch without even creating the actual Watch app?

I would like to support my Local Notifications iPhone app on Apple Watch from the very first moment of the Watch release, but I have no plans to create a Watch app for now. From what I researched, it seems that iPhone notifications will be automatically supported in Watch, without the need for any additional development or implementation of WatchKit.

Applications are not required to do anything to support notifications. The system provides a default notification interface that displays a warning message from the notification. However, applications can customize the notification interface and include custom graphics, content, and branding.

Is it correct?

If yes: 1. Will there be notifications on valid buttons on the watch, as for the iPhone? 2. Is there a way to check what's on the simulator so that it works as expected?

If not: 3. Is there a way to only support notifications without creating the Watch app?

This is a more related question that I have found so far, but this is not quite what I am looking for. How to trigger notifications using WatchKit

I would like to support my announcements of iPhone applications in Apple Watch from the very first moment of the Watch release

Yes, notifications for your iOS app will work from day one on Apple Watch.

Do Watch Watch notifications have action buttons similar to those configured for the iPhone app?

If your iOS application already supports valid notifications, they will work with Apple Watch.

Is there a way to verify that the simulator can verify that it is working as expected?

The good question actually is, you cannot test your current iOS app notifications running on the simulator, but you can test the notification user interface from WatchKit.

You must specify a function request for this.

Is there a way to support only notifications without creating a Watch app?

No, you need to provide a Notification JSON payload sample as part of the WatchKit package for which you want to send the Apple Watch application.
