Does anyone know if the the Apple Watch will continue to function normally if the iPhone is in low power mode? If not, what are the compromises on its usage?

Bluetooth stays on in low power mode so that shouldn't impact the watch. However, low power mode also reduces background refresh, fetch and runs the cpu on the phone at a lower clock speed.
