First, be aware that your Apple Watch can only connect to 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks (not 5GHz). If that is not the problem, then see:

Apple Watch won't connect without wifi My Apple Watch says I need to turn on wifi but my wifi is on. Will it not pair with just bluetooth when I am not on a wifi network? It says it should connect with just bluetooth but I get an error saying to turn on my wifi. Lets say I am driving down the road and no wifi. My watch will not pair and gives the error to turn on wifi. Is this normal?
