Hi
Apple Watch can connect to a Wi-Fi network that your iPhone has used before if your watch was connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth at the time of that previous connection.
The network must be 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz. The watch can't connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi or to public networks that need logins, profiles or subscriptions.
