Hi Scott, Nearly. The watch and phone will use Bluetooth if available. If Bluetooth is off or unavailable, the watch uses any existing association to reach the phone over Wi-Fi. Finally, if the phone itself is off and can’t be reached by any method, then the watch will do some things independently, including (for those in the States who can get it) Wi-Fi Calling. An increasing number of apps will work with no phone pairing, though not nearly enough in my book, including for example the “Remote” app. Accordingly have a phone on and on your Wi-Fi network, even if it’s just on charge. Moreover, Bluetooth is always required to perform a remote watch unlock from the phone.
