Is this post from the future????? 5G is currently testing in a few select markets but there is no (Apple) consumer devices that have 5G radios.Why can’t the watch connect to 5G networks? It seems strange that the iPhone and iPad can connect to these networks but not the watch. Or perhaps they could not fit a big enough WIFI antenna in the watch?
He’s asking about 5GHz WiFi versus 2.4GHz WiFi, but got the terminology confused with mobile cellular networking standards.Is this post from the future????? 5G is currently testing in a few select markets but there is no (Apple) consumer devices that have 5G radios.

Correct and 5GHz also doesn't travel through walls very well.From what I understand, 5GHz radios consume a significant amount of energy and does not travel as far.....

The watch does not have a 5 GHz Wi-Fi chip so it can't connect to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection. A couple of factors are likely: Apple chose to use an older, lower power, and cheaper 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi chip.Why can’t the watch connect to 5G networks?

Its also slower. But then again on the watch FaceTime audio calling would probably use the most bandwidth of anything you would do.
