Use your watch without your phone

The watch works on its own over Wi-Fi or LTE. It plays the room, rings and messages by itself.

Once it is added, your watch talks, plays the room, rings for calls and sends messages on its own. With Sound on this watch set to Auto, it plays the room only when the phone is away.

Watch

  1. Open Settings › Sound › Sound on this watch. Each tap goes Auto, On, Off.
  2. With Auto, the watch says Playing on your watch while your phone is away when it takes over.
  3. Calls ring on the watch by itself when no phone is nearby.
  4. With no phone nearby, the watch also shows its own notifications for direct messages and mentions, friend requests, invitations and missed calls. With your phone nearby the phone shows them, so you never get the same one twice.
Watch Settings › Sound: Sound on this watch set to Auto, “Plays when your phone is away”.
