Make the apple watch connect to any wifi network that your iphone connects to and if that is the case you can basically leave your iphone at home sometimes. In Central Florida I use Brighthouse cable for my internet and Brighthouse is also available for their customers on the main roads in central Florida but the apple watch cannot log into that service because you have to sign in. If apple can come up in the future with a fix for that it would be awesome and the apple watch will always be connected.
