Q: Apple watch has to be on the same wifi network as iphone in order to function
I can't make/receive calls or notifications when Apple watch is connected to a different wifi network as my iphone (i.e., wearing watch at work while leaving iphone at home). Is this a limitation of apple watch? if so, when can Apple make this happen? I know Android wear has already supported this.

Hi
If your Apple 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 (whilst it was connected to your watch via Bluetooth), then your watch can connect to that network and still offer certain features (which may include Wi-Fi calling, depending on your cellular carrier and plan):
