Connectivity • “The Apple Watch communicates with a user’s iPhone via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which means that it can operate with an iPhone at any distance as long as they are on the same wireless network — otherwise, the smartwatch will need to be in Bluetooth-range of an iPhone to have full capability.”

Security • The watch senses when you put it on and then asks for authentication, either by supplying a fingerprint on the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus or by entering a PIN code in the phone’s app or on the watch itself. • As soon as the watch detects that you’ve removed it, Apple Pay locks up, requiring you to re-authenticate to re-activate it.
