Are there any settings to customize connection priority on the Apple Watch 10

Connection Management Features

1. Airplane Mode Customization:
- When Airplane Mode is activated, you can choose whether to keep Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on. This allows you to control which connection is prioritized when Airplane Mode is enabled[1].

2. Bluetooth Device Management:
- While there isn't a direct way to set priority among Bluetooth devices on the Apple Watch itself, you can manage Bluetooth settings through your paired iPhone. Devices are typically listed in alphabetical order, and renaming them can help in managing which one connects first[3].

3. Temporary Disconnection:
- You can temporarily disconnect from a Wi-Fi network via the Control Center, allowing the Apple Watch to switch to a cellular connection if available[1].

4. Notification Settings:
- You can customize how notifications are sent from apps on your Apple Watch, which indirectly affects how you interact with different apps and their connectivity needs. This includes allowing or silencing notifications for specific apps[5].

5. Widget Customization:
- With watchOS 10, you can customize widgets that show relevant information at a glance, which can help in prioritizing what you want to see without switching between apps[2].

While these features do not provide a direct method for setting connection priorities like some other devices might offer, they allow for some level of management regarding how the Apple Watch interacts with connected devices and notifications.

Is it possible to set different connection preferences for Wi-Fi and cellular on the Apple Watch 10

There are no explicit settings to set different connection preferences for Wi-Fi and cellular on the Apple Watch Series 10. However, you can manage connections in the following ways:

Prioritizing Connections

- The Apple Watch automatically uses the best available connection - your paired iPhone via Bluetooth, a previously connected Wi-Fi network, or cellular if available[1].

- You can temporarily disconnect from a Wi-Fi network via Control Center to prioritize cellular if you have an Apple Watch with cellular and are in range of a cellular network[1].

Turning Cellular On/Off

- You can turn cellular on or off from Control Center to save battery when not needed[1].

- When cellular is on, the cellular icon appears in Control Center and the watch face[1].

Airplane Mode Settings

- When Airplane Mode is enabled, you can choose whether to keep Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on in the Settings app[1].

- This allows you to control which connection is prioritized when Airplane Mode is turned on.

So while there are no direct settings to set preferences, you can manage connections by temporarily disconnecting from Wi-Fi, turning cellular on/off, and customizing Airplane Mode to prioritize the connection you want to use. The watch will automatically use the best available connection based on your paired iPhone, previously connected Wi-Fi networks, and cellular if available.
