As per this story, the initial tether is still required during setup. That was certainly true for the Gear 2. I hope that you are right, Thiago!

That extra step will be required to get to a truly independent device. Without that you're in a similar situation to the older iPhones, where it forced you to use iTunes for certain operations.
