I want to create a watch app for an existing iOS app.
But I am in a situation that i don't own a apple watch and my existing iOS app will run only on real devices not on simulator.
Is it possible to run the app on the iphone device and test my watch app in the watch simulator?

Open up a project in Xcode and click on the device near the Run ▶ button at the top left of your Xcode screen. Plug your iPhone into your computer. You can select your device from the top of the list. Unlock your device and (⌘R) run the application.
How do I get the watch simulator to appear when I select an iPhone simulator in Device? In the Devices window under Simulators, select an iPhone 5 and later simulator. Under the Paired Watches table, click the Add button (+).
Xcode has a really good iOS emulator built in for testing purposes and so you can run your app on a virtual device instead of deploying it on a physical device. The best thing about the built in Xcode emulator is the fact that you get access to a variety of devices and screen sizes with different iOS versions.
