No. It seems it works with every Dialog as long as you have installed Spark 1.9.0 on your iPhone and Firmware 1.12.0 on Dialog/Phantom. The Apple Watch simply works as an extension of the same Spark functionality you have on the iPhone now (you can swipe left on the lock screen and control the music from there as well). I do have a setup without Airplay and it works.
