- Why is this behavior intentional?
1. What is the watch Wi-Fi strategy?
The connected watch uses a specific Wi-Fi strategy designed to balance optimal connectivity with battery life. Even if Wi-Fi credentials are saved, the watch will only connect to a Wi-Fi network when it is genuinely needed.
2. When does the watch use Wi-Fi?
The watch automatically connects to Wi-Fi when a significant amount of data needs to be transferred. This includes, for example:
- Weather data updates
- Golf course downloads
- Application downloads or updates
- Uploading large sports or activity sessions
When one of these actions is triggered, the watch will seamlessly connect to an available Wi-Fi network for which it has permission.
3. What connection is used for everyday data?
For everyday, low data usage, the watch primarily relies on a Bluetooth connection through the paired phone, as long as the phone is nearby. This method consumes significantly less power and helps extend battery life.
4. What happens if Wi-Fi is unavailable?
If Wi-Fi is not available or cannot be reached, the connection via the phone also acts as a fallback to maintain data synchronization whenever possible.
5. Does the watch ever prioritize Wi-Fi over Bluetooth?
Yes. When the watch is placed on its charging dock, it will prioritize Wi-Fi connections. This allows system updates, downloads, and synchronizations to take place while the watch has a stable power supply, avoiding unnecessary battery drain.
6. Why is this behavior intentional?
Wi-Fi consumes more power than Bluetooth. By limiting Wi-Fi usage to moments when it is truly necessary or when the watch is charging, the watch delivers better overall battery performance without compromising essential features.
