Q: Inconsistent connection to iPhone

I have a 38 mm sport band watch. The watch doesn't always connect to my iPhone 6. I periodically have to manually connect watch to my phone about weekly. I do this by turning blue tooth on my iPhone 6 off and on again, then the watch connects. It this typical or should the iWatch remain connected if my iPhone is on and within range?

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.1
