Apple Watch BlueTooth iPhone Distance

I have a few questions:

1. How far can the Apple Watch connect to an iPhone 5?

2. How far can the Apple Watch connect to an iPhone 5c?

3. How far can the Apple Watch connect to an iPhone 5s?

4. How far can the Apple Watch connect to an iPhone 6?

5. How far can the Apple Watch connect to an iPhone 6 Plus?

6. How far can the Apple Watch connect to an iPhone 6s?

7. How far can the Apple Watch connect to an iPhone 6s Plus?

8. How far can the Apple Watch connect to an iPhone SE?

P.S. I couldn't think of a better way to word it, but I basically mean "How far can the Apple Watch be from the iPhone but still be connected?"

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2

Hi


Normal Bluetooth range is around 33 feet / 10 meters. The actual range will vary in practice due to wireless interference, but you don't necessarily need to have your iPhone on or immediately around you (within arm's reach, for example) for Apple Watch and the paired iPhone to maintain their Bluetooth connection.


Your watch can also still perform certain functions when it is not connected to your iPhone, including some that are available when your watch is connected to a known Wi-Fi network.
