I am planning to build an Apple watch app that should interact with an external device via Bluetooth. So, can I build just an apple watch app without iPhone Companion app?

In iOS 13 it's possible to create independent watchOS application. More information can be found here. You have to download Xcode 11 to be able to create independent watchOS application.
To create it simply go to File -> New -> Project and select watchOS -> App as it's shown on a screenshot:
There is also WWDC 2019 video: Creating Independent Watch Apps.
