Yes, WiFi is infac built in. Apple watches can call using WiFi calling as of I believe Watch OS 2.1. You enable the WiFi calling option on your iphone and the access is also enabled in your watch. If your phone is not near by and your able to join WiFi you’ll be able to place and receive calls. Note there are some limitations on the WiFi side mainly you need to use the same SSID on 2.4 and 5.0 GHZ and you need to have simple security options, I don’t believe the more advanaced stuff like WiFi authentication is supported. That said, it does work well.
Hope that helps.
