Wifi and Watch

From the manual, so you should be able to use those functions.

 

I started a thread about this late last night.

Try removing your network from your iPhone and then adding it back again - that worked for me and I can make calls when the BT on my iPhone is off. Also try standing near your router and see if the Watch connects.

 

it does work

I got this working on Saturday, yes once you have paired and setup the watch and IF you don't take it off the wrist (or you have to re-authenticate), then it will use the wifi for connectivity and make calls, get notifications, etc.

 

There are all ready several threads about this with a lot of info and different people's experience. Do a search.

 

This is great info. Thanks for the help on resetting the network. Seems to work.

I posted this over the weekend and I believe what you guys are saying

I believe that all functions seem to work on wifi provided there is an established Bluetooth connection with the phone first. I ran a few tests on wifi
1- shut off BT on phone- watch working all functions go (Edit- see below no calls)
2- shut off wifi on phone- watch lost connection, red disconnect icon displayed. No functions
3- next turned wifi on phone. No change in watch, no connection
4- restarted watch, phone still on wifi only. No connection after watch restarted
5- turned on BT on phone wifi still on. Immediate connection on watch. All functions
6- turned off BT on phone. Watch still connected via wifi

Simply seems like the watch needs a BT handoff in order to exchange network information so it can stay connected on wifi.

That's my science project for Saturday morning. Any input from my geek brethren ?
