Q. Can I leave my phone at home and use my smartwatch?

Answer

No. A smartwatch is an example of an intelligent item that connects to and functions with a smartphone. It's possible to pair the smartwatch with the phone through Bluetooth but this will depend on the model. Bluetooth's wireless connection between phone and wristwatch has a range that varies widely from place to place. The recommended minimum distance for a stable connection is 30 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth's ease of use and ability to conserve power are two of the reasons for the technology's meteoric rise to prominence. Bluetooth has the lowest energy usage when compared to other methods of enhancing functionality.
