Doesn't work with Sleeve tattoos, which I presume most Apple owners have......

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)

I think he must have meant VPN. But even that wouldnt have been entirely right.

Found the answer.

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.

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.

​sorry for the spelling error. Daam Android LMAO

​i ended up buying a gear s2 and co vertex to the dark side (Android). having said that, I am quite happy with the change. got a Nexus 5x from the argos deal, and watch from o2 deal. Thanks UK Hot Deals

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.

Spot on that's ugly. £79.99

why is the battery so crap ?

worst apple product out.

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.

Does it tell the time or am I missing the point haha

Does it works with my Nokia 3310?

great if you want to get cancer

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:

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.

Not sure why the link didn't work but it's at simply electronics

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.
