So, maybe, if you switch the phone to Airplane Mode, it should inform the watch that you did it on purpose (or something).. but anyone can switch a phone to Airplane Mode from the lock screen, too. So how should it verify that you flipped the switch yourself...

We're starting to add complexity here, and for not a whole lot of benefit over the existing disconnection icon.
If the watch are alerting you about reach the maximum distance from the iPhone,you are comming back and collect and no one can switch in airplane mod....

Apple makes fancy hardware; their software is absolute dung.

The watch is in 3rd generation now, and a simple and amazingly useful feature of an audible sound is unavailable when you walk away from your iPhone. Pathetic!
I think they do not want to have from any reason,cheapest watches have this banal function.And like indirect proof is :Lookout was diasbling this function;)

It couldn't be simpler. The watch loses connection with the phone (the red indicator comes on), you get a ding and/or vibration. If you don't want this function active, you turn it off. How is that complicated?
All the simplest and chipeast smart watches have this function through the few functions and Apple Watch is more than a chipeast one;)
