Q: CAn I use Wifi connection without connected to Bluetooth of Iphone ?
Dear Member,
I am a new user in apple watch.
I need to know whether it is possible to connect Apple Watch to wireless Hotspot in my office without connecting it to my iPhone ? because if I switch on the Bluetooth, it will drain the battery very fast.....
Thanks for the information in advance

Hi Johannes
Whilst Apple Watch can - if it is unable to connect to your iPhone via Bluetooth - instead connect to a known 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (with some exceptions), turning off Bluetooth on your iPhone would increase the battery drain on your watch.
For the best performance from your devices - including the most power-efficient communication between them - keep both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi permanently enabled on your iPhone.
