I can see in the documentation that CoreLocation is supported by watchOS2. Does it mean Beacon Monitoring is available without iPhone support (standalone watch app) ?

Sounds like it but you could try it quickly if you have a watch

I too am interested in knowing this. Though core location is available on watchos, it is limited to CLRegion & location updates only. I'm unable to compile Beacon region monitoring on watch os. It would be great if someone from Apple confirms this understanding.

The Core Location session confirms that region monitoring is not available on watchOS.

Oops.. that's bad news, maybe Apple wants to make watch focus on bluetooth classic mode to avoid stability issues on bluetooth stack?...😟
