If you have wifi in your home, yes. Anywhere there is a wifi signal, you will get notifications. Remote connection works very well also. K
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depends how big your house is haha. But the watch has an option to connect to wifi if it lost connectivity with the phone. This allows it to get notification. HOWEVER, this watch does not let you make calls. You can only place the calls, but you have to use your phone to talk!! (there is no speaker on the watch). I am 99% sure that the 3G version of the watch, which is coming soon, will have a speaker and allow you to call. So I'd wait for that
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can definitely walk around the house upstairs downstairs ut will stay connected. I work in cellular store and usually like to leave my phone in the back to charge. I walked to the oustide front of the store and it stayed connected
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The range is about 30 feet as I have experienced through walls and interference. If it disconnects, it will automatically connect to your WiFi at home if the password was saved on your phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ideally, bluetooth connection distace is 20-30ft. However, walls will weaken the signal and can cause them to disconnect. Given that same concept, in an are without walls or other obsticales you can mantain connection beyond 30ft.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I find that 20 ft is about the range, I lose my connection farther than that or less if you are outside and your phone is inside.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can definitely walk around the house (same story) and get notifications. Remember you can't answer calls on the watch, you still have to use your phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as you're watch and phone are in range and connected to the same wi-fi connection, you should be able to roam where-ever. It can still stay synced with your phone even outside of bluetooth range.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It works if I am in my apartment and my phone is also in my apartment, have not found a need to be in the same room. It operates off a Bluetooth signal, but lacks a microphone, so you can view and respond to texts, and get caller ID and reject calls from the watch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.These phones cannot answer calls (you will have to wait for the upcoming LTE version next month), but they do have WiFi so you can walk around and still get notifications assuming you have a Wifi connection. It syncs the same Wifi networks that your phone has access to, so it is pretty seamless.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
