Can my apple watch alert me if I walk too far away from my iphone?
I had a Pebble watch that I got for $80 last Christmas that would signal me if the phone went out of range. Saved me multiple times from forgetting my phone when going out. I got an Apple watch a week ago and am appalled that it does not do this. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
No, that's not a feature of the phone. However, if you mislay the phone, you can "ping" it so that it will make a sound.
Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature here:
So? Any update?
No.
I Find my watch fabulous, as at work I can leave my phone on charge and do most daily tasks through my watch, but I have left it behind some many times now, why not a simple hectic vibrate if you become disconnected? So you can quickly go pick it up before realising when your 10 miles away?
love my watch but it's useless without your phone!?!?

I rarely left my phone behind before I got my watch. And that hasn't changed since I got my watch.

It is not completely useless. It will still perform many functions without the phone in proximity. However, there are a number of things it will not do.

You're still within the return period.

Lookout had that feature two years ago. It just didn't work very well. The feature was only removed with the latest update.
There are a number of 3rd party products that you can attach to anything that will perform the function you need.

You do realize that you responded to a 2-year old thread.
Can my apple watch alert me if I leave my phone somewhere?
