For the wifi network that your watch can't connect to, go to the iPhone Wifi network page and "forget" that network. Then reconnect to it while the watch is connected to the iPhone via bluetooth. Once the iPhone re-establishes wifi, this password would be passed to the watch.
If you don't re-enter the password for the wifi network, the new Apple Watch won't connect to it."

Thank you so much for your answer! This has been the only thing bugging me about my watch ... now it is perfect!! Thanks again!
I have the same question: Same Wi-Fi Network?
Besides the functions listed above can do other things further away from the phone? i.e. you news, weather apps etc.?
Worked perfectly ... watch is now on same network as phone when not paired via bluetooth.
Thanks
If i look at my wifi router, both are connected to my Wifi. Apple Watch and iPhone. But Apple watch did not connect to iPhone. So it looks like a bug.
Read my text. It a dual band. 5 Ghz and 2,4 GHz. Both are connected to the airport. But Sometime Apple Watch does not connect to iPhone though they are connected to the same wifi.
That's it! It was a simple and easy solution for me.
