If the phone isn't connected to the internet, like if you are on a plane or in the sticks, the phone app doesn't know about the watch. No settings, nothing. Why can't the app have some self-sufficiency?

A watch face can have on device settings so that no phone is required to configure it. See the Analog sample in the SDK for a simple example, or search the Discussion forum for "On Device Settings". Here's one of mine that uses on-device:

In this case it does need the phone to get weather data.
