Part 1. Best Solution to Play Audible on Apple Watch without iPhone

To make Audible audiobooks playable on Apple Watch independently, you'll need a smart DRM removal tool for Audible. That's because Audible audiobooks are encrypted by DRM (Digital Rights Management). DRM is a special technology to prevent the books from being copied to another device in purpose of protecting the copyright of the files. Thus you can't directly sync Audible audiobooks to Apple Watch with iTunes, like you do with other audiobooks or songs.

In this case, DRmare Audio Converter is highly recommended. It's a complete DRM removal solution for Audible. You can losslessly convert any Audible audiobooks like AA or AAX to MP3, AAC or other Apple Watch supported formats.
