Yes, you have to wear the watch and it's pretty cool b/c you can accept the notifications/calls or reject them from your watch :)

Yes, your phone and the watch need to be within about 30 meters of each other to receive notifications on the watch.

It's Bluetooth, so yes. Limited range is a Bluetooth thing.

No. I was told by Best Buy that the only time you need the phone is if you want to download and view the results from the watch. I have not synchronized mine to a phone or I-pad yet as I have had trouble doing so and lack time to fool with it. But I use it often no matter where I am and it is helpful. Works great.
