I haven't developed an Apple Watch app yet.

I have an existing app for sale. Users of that app sometimes send me requests for functions using Apple Watch in the app by email.

Considering future maintenance, I would like to sell the Apple Watch app as a paid app.

However, I know that watch app support cannot be turned on/off by in-app purchases in existing apps.

Is there any way for the standalone Apple Watch app to communicate with my existing paid/free apps?

If the watch app you are wanting to build needs to communicate with your existing iOS app, it should be submitted with your iOS app. It should not be a separate watch-only app.
