Can't find the item mate. But reviews aren't great.
Doesn't work with Sleeve tattoos, which I presume most Apple owners have......

I have the sport one in black plastic and it has been a good investment. The HEart Rate Monitor etc is fab and if you are down the pub and leave your iPhone at home, you will still get text messages come through. I have no idea how that works but it spooked me the first time.
If it has to be Apple then OK but if you just want to have a go at smartwatching then the Pebble has similar functionality and acceptable looks, get from various places for 50 quid at the moment.

I have an iWatch and I don't think it can work like that. My understanding is the watch uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone. So unless you live next door to the pub I would say you was well out of your Bluetooth range for you phone.
You probably had the phone in your pocket all along...but you was drunk and didn't notice :laughing:
I present to you, the laziest, ugliest piece of design to come out of Apple! But yeah the battery on the Apple Watch is terrible, I guess you can carry a few spare magnetic chargers though, so it's nice of Apple not to totally pull your pants down over those, oh wait...

The iPhone and Watch have WiFi which is how it works and it creates a WAN over WiFi. Anyway, I'd be more concerned about leaving an iPhone in a pub and someone not nicking it...
The heart rate monitor is inaccurate and a massive battery drain (I can lose over 50% on a bike ride) - I guess it's useful if you have nothing else on you.

Re the watch working untethered - the watch "remembers" wifi networks your phone has been to, and therefore connects to them without the phone being tethered. No WAN etc it's directly connecting to the Internet.

WAN stands for Wide Area Network so to say WAN over WIFI is supposed to mean connectivity over the wifi to your iphone remotely.
As someone who works with technology, neither of these descriptions are "proper" but they get the point across, I guess.

It seemed like the easiest way to describe it. The WiFi is a LAN (local area network) and that is the carrier/technology used, the WAN (wide-area) is the internet between those two remote sites.
Watch Internet (WAN) Phone - where the pointy brackets are two-way. I believe this is how it does it though.

I was about 2 miles away in a pub so you can rule Bluetooth out. The only "remote possibility" is that the wifi details for the pub were in my iPhone as well as the the one at home. I wnoder whether the iWatch can also pick up those wifi keys and connect to wifi and thats how it happened, nbut trust me I was spooked. I even asked my mate I was drinking with in the pub to text me and it arrived on my watch too and from my watch, I replied and he got the reply. Try it next time.
According to CNET, it doesn't use the internet or WAN - you have to be on the same wifi network (same SSID, as a wifi network can serve multiple SSIDs)
