Connecting to Wi-Fi®
Your SmartWatch 3 supports Wi-Fi® and can automatically connect to saved Wi-Fi®
networks when it loses a Bluetooth® connection with your Android™ phone or tablet.
When your SmartWatch 3 is connected to a Wi-Fi® network, it can automatically stay
synced with your phone or tablet as long as the phone or tablet is also connected to
a Wi-Fi® network. So you can get notifications and use voice search on your
SmartWatch 3 throughout your home or workplace when you leave your phone or
tablet in a different room.
You must first install the latest version of the Android Wear application on your Android™
phone or tablet.

Disabling Wi-Fi® to extend battery life
If the Wi-Fi® function is using a lot of battery power, it may get turned off
automatically and the message "Wi-Fi® disabled to extend battery life" appears. How
fast your battery drains depends on how much you use your SmartWatch 3 while it's
connected to Wi-Fi®. You can disable the message via the notification settings.
The Wi-Fi® function switches on again automatically when your SmartWatch 3 is recharged.
