You can do an initial pair with an Android device then use this app on both the android phone and iPhone to have it sort of pair with the iPhone.

You get things like iOS notifications, play controls, etc, but get the ability to install apps from Android.
Its definitely not the best solution but its the only one I've come across so far.
If you happen to have/can borrow another Android device to pair your watch to, you can download Aerlink to your watch and the companion app from the App Store.
It has it's quirks, and you can't use a lot of the features of the watch, but it's better than just time.
Sorry about your phone!
Used it briefly on my wife's iPhone (I'm an Android user.) It works well for notifications. Didn't try much else on it.
I mean, I can't say for sure because I cannot try for myself, but I am a bit confused by the comments of the others here because I thought you actually can use Android Wear devices with iOS, using an app like this one.
Again, I'm not sure, nor do I know anything about the details around it, but as far as I understood you will just need an android device for the initial setup and then you can, by installing said app, use your watch with your iPhone!
I suppose for installing watchfaces you'd need your Android phone though... and probably functionality is a bit crippled over all, because most apps probably won't work.
Maybe you can find a friend with a watch and try out that app first!? :)
This is possible with aerlink. Setup the watch on the android phone and download the aerlink app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codegy.wearconnectforios&hl=en_GB). Then download the aerlink app for ios (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/aerlink/id995058068?mt=8)
I can't comment on disconnection issues with iOS devices however I haven't had such issues on my S6.
Also the iPhone only provides 1st party notifications to Android Wear devices, looking at the description of Aerlink it appears that it bypasses this limitation, therefore showing both 1st party and 3rd party applications. It does look like you need an Android device to install the app first though.
Hey man, don't know if you're still on the hunt (like I was) on how to get it working.
Luckily, theres an app that takes away the need for any APK, Rooting, or anything like that.
