Watch series 2 Connection Notification

on my watch series 1 i would always glance at it to make sure my iPhone was close by. If it wasn't close by there would be a red phone icon where the notifications red dot would normally be and if it was close by there would be just the red dot.

On my series two watch this seems to of disappeared. Am i missing something or have they done away with this?

Hi


The disconnected icon has not changed under watchOS 3.


To check whether your watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, when viewing the time on your watch, swipe up to open Control Centre.


This will state either Connected or Disconnected:


  • If it states Connected and the icon at the upper-right corner is a green phone, then your watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth.
  • If it states Connected and the icon is a green cloud, then your watch is disconnected from your iPhone via Bluetooth, but has instead connected (as a fallback) to a known Wi-Fi network.
  • If it states Disconnected, your watch is disconnected from your iPhone and also is not connected to a Wi-Fi network. The icon at the upper-right corner will be a red phone with a line through it.

    Under these circumstances, the same Disconnected icon will also be shown at the top of your watch face:
