Slow or no internet on Apple Watch when connected to iPhone via bluetooth

When Apple Watch 5 is connected to iPhone SE via bluetooth the internet speed on Apple Watch is slow or there is no internet at all. All notifications are working and everything seems to be ok, except the internet speed. When I disconnect Apple Watch from iPhone for example by turning airplane mode on on iPhone, then the internet on Watch (wifi and cellular) works fine. So is the problem with bluetooth (on Watch or iPhone)? Is it because Watch has bluetooth 5.0 and iPhone SE has bluetooth 4.2?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

Hello rrradekkk,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I understand from your post that the internet speed on your Apple Watch is not as fast as you expected it to be. The following article explains how the Apple Watch connects to internet which you may find helpful:
