Hi there TSmalley2785,
We understand you're experiencing an issue with connecting your Apple Watch to Wi-Fi. We have a resource that may help.
Check it out here: About Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular on your Apple Watch
Specifically, the details below may help:
"Connect to a compatible Wi-Fi network
Your Apple Watch can connect to a Wi-Fi network:
- If your iPhone, while connected to your watch with Bluetooth, has connected to the network before.
- If the Wi-Fi network is 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz.
For example, your Apple Watch won't connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi or public networks that require logins, subscriptions, or profiles. When your Apple Watch connects to a compatible Wi-Fi network instead of your iPhone connection, the Wi-Fi icon appears in Control Center."
Regards.
