Apr 20, 2016 4:25 PM in response to Orebetaby ChrisJ4203,Like KiltedTim said, define close. I can leave my iPhone in the living room at home and walk anywhere in the house and my watch works just fine. Not sure if that exceeds 30 feet, but I believe it might.

Whilst full functionality requires a Bluetooth connection with the paired iPhone, many features remain available when the iPhone is either unavailable (eg turned off) or out of Bluetooth range:
- Use the watch to tell the time, along with alarms, timers and the stopwatch.
- Keep track of your activity (Stand, Move, Exercise) with the Activity app.
- Track workouts with the Workout app.
- Play music from a playlist that has been synced to Apple Watch.
- Display photos from the synced photo album.
- Use Apple Pay to make purchases.
If the watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but is within range of a (2.4GHz) Wi-Fi network that your iPhone has connected to before, the watch can connect to that network and you can also still:
- Send and receive messages using iMessage.
- Send and receive Digital Touch messages.
- Use Siri.
- Make and receive phone calls if you have Wi-Fi calling enabled (depending on your carrier).
