Q: Imessage and Skype without Iphone

Hi

If Apple Watch is disconnected from the paired iPhone via Bluetooth, but has connected to a compatible, known Wi-Fi network as a fallback, you can still send and receive messages via iMessage, in addition to using certain other features:

• How to use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby - Apple Support

For assistance with questions about using Skype, you may wish to consult the developer's support resources and/or ask the developer:

• https://go.skype.com/help.support.selection

You're welcome!

Do you think that apple watch not being able to connect to unknown networks is a hardware or software limitation?

Apple has chosen to design it that way. If you would like to suggest that Apple adds new features, you can do so here:
