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.

To turn Wi-Fi® on or off

If

Wi-Fi Off is displayed, tap Wi-Fi Off to turn on Wi-Fi®. If Wi-Fi Automatic is

displayed, tap

If Wi-Fi® is activated on your SmartWatch 3, your SmartWatch 3 automatically connects to any

known, available network when your SmartWatch 3 does not have a Bluetooth® connection to

your Android™ phone or tablet.

Turning off Wi-Fi® can extend your battery life.

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.
