Hi there, thanks.
I understand what you are saying but having listened to David Woodbridge’s podcasts on the Applevis site he demonstrates that the Apple Watch has some connectivity with a wireless network when his iPhone is turned off. Confused.

You have to leave Bluetooth on the telephone on to run you watch with the Wi-Fi. It connects to the Wi-Fi through your telephone. I also have series 2, my phone is a 7+ and I’m running the same software you are. As long as your watch is near your phone, within 30 feet, it runs fine. As long as your Bluetooth. Turn off your Bluetooth and it’s gone. That helps. Joney [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> "If God can bring you to it, He will lead you through it."

I am using an Apple series2 Watch. I am using the watch with an iPhone7. The watch is running watch OS4.2 and the iPhone is running iOS 11.2. Both devices are talking to each other and data is synchronised between them. The watch can send and receive e-mail and message and the calendar has the data retrieved from my iCloud account. However, if I turn Bluetooth off on the iPhone the watch loses all connectivity with the outside world. Siri says that it has no connection for example when not connected to the iPhone. I have tried the following to solve the problem. Firstly, disabling Bluetooth on the iPhone and getting it to forget the wireless network. I then reconnected to my 2.4GHz network and enabled Bluetooth. The watch works fine until I again disable Bluetooth. I then removed the watch from my Cloud account and signed out on the iPhone too. Signing back and adding the watch again did not solve the problem. It looks as though the wireless settings are not being copied from the iPhone to the watch for some reason. Secondly what apps support Andoff between the watch and iPhone? Thanks.

Hi Malcolm, I would suggest letting the devices connect for a little while. It may take a few minutes for the Wi-Fi info on the phone to be copied to the watch.

The watch will happily talk to my iPhone but when I turn the iPhone's Bluetooth on the watch will not connect with the outside world. Any thoughts from you and others welcome. Thanks.

Hi, Your watch should be able to connect with any Wi-Fi network that your phone has connected to. Make sure your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi, and maybe wait a little while before turning off the watch, and it should work. If you just set up the phone, maybe information is still being copied from the phone, including the Wi-Fi network info.

I have it up and running and configured as I like it. However, there is one thing that I cannot get to work. Am I right in understanding that if my iPhone is turned off the watch will connect to my wireless network? I cannot get it to connect, as soon as I power off my iPhone the watch loses its connectivity to the outside world. I have powered the watch off, asked my iPhone to forget its wireless networks then turned Bluetooth off on the iPhone. I then rejoined my 2GHz network and then turned Bluetooth on. I then restarted the watch. It is connected to my iPhone. But again if I turn the iPhone’s Bluetooth off the watch is not connected to the outside world. What else can I do to sort it out? Thanks.
