How can I set my Apple Watch to have an out of reach notification?

Out of reach notification

I love my new Apple Watch. However, there is one simple feature which I had on my old Pebble watch: I got a buzz when the phone was out of reach. This prevented me many times from leaving my iPhone at home when I left for work in the morning. On the Apple watch I only see a red box on the display, but no sound or buzzing

Yeah, there were rumors that Apple would release a feature like this through Find My Watch and smart leashing, but they haven't been confirmed yet. I'd love this too and believe that Apple is working on it.

Welcome to iMore

This has been discussed on a recent thread and we are all looking forward to this feature as well

Seems like a no brainer that Apple should have included in the first place. But we shall wait and see.
