I am facing a really annoying problem with my watch, it does not connect to WiFi automatically when iPhone is out of range.
Connects well to a saved WiFi but only if I select it.
Just to clarify: it connects if I select manually.
But not if like I arrive home and walk away from my iPhone.
I have restarted everything.
Apple Watch
Just tried and it worked without a glitch here too. S6 GPS only. You may want to unpair and re-pair if the issue persists,
to get back to factory level and settings.

Just tested with my S5 and works fine. I turned off Wi-fi on my phone and the watch stayed connected. I then rebooted the router and my watch lost connection and then reconnected.
Ok I know this isn’t really helpful but it might go to say it’s not a generic problem.
you’ve obviously done everything like set the Wi-fi to auto connection on your watch etc ?
Router restart did not solve, and with this or airplane mode method cannot reproduce the problem.
I had to go out from the flat.
One more thing, sometimes private address turns back on 🤨
I will repair it afternoon and see what happens.
Which series is it, and is it a cellular one?
S5, no cellular.
WatchOS is up to date.
Yes, it’s on auto connection.
I will try to restart my router again and share the results.
I don’t see how it is connected to my issue, but I will give it a try also, I have seen a lot of things 😀
