Q: Does Apple Watch have a Wifi antenna?
Sometimes when i disconnect my iPhone but I'm near my Wifi connection i find that it didn't tell me that my iPhone disconnected the bluetooth connection with it.
I just find a "Connected" green word with a Cloud sign right next to it in green as well, like the iCloud logo you know what i mean?
But when i go out and get away from my Wifi connection, and try to disconnect the iPhone from the Watch, it just tells me "Disconnected" in red.
So i just want to know if it does connect to Wifi all by itself or not because if so, of course it should has a Wifi antenna inside right ?
iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

Hi
Apple Watch supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
To check the connection status of your watch, open the Settings Glance: when viewing the time on your watch face, swipe up on the screen, then swipe left / right until you find the Settings Glance. This will state either Connected or Disconnected.
- Connected and a green phone symbol means that your watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth.
- Connected and a green cloud symbol means that your watch is disconnected from your iPhone via Bluetooth, but has connected (as a fallback, when the Bluetooth connection to your iPhone is not available) to a known Wi-Fi network.
- Disconnected and a red phone with a line through it means that your watch is disconnected from your iPhone and is also not connected Wi-Fi.
- Swipe down again to return to the watch face.
