Full Apple Watch disconnect from Bluetooth, Wifi not working?

I prefer to wear my Apple Watch as a local health monitoring

device and not constantly communicating with my phone via EMF, Bluetooth or

Wifi.

I have WiFi disconnected and Airplane mode on, yet the Watch

is still receiving notifications and displaying as "connected".

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Watch Connection cutting in and out I am having an issue when use my watch to listen to music. I will use the Apple AirPods and select while mowing the lawn. When I get further from the house the connection starts to go in and out. This happens also at the gym when I get further from my phone. Is this a Wi-Fi thing or do I need to completely turn off my phone in order to work? It’s weird seems glitchy. My watch will work fine if I turn off my phone completely, but do I have to do that every time? Should it automatically pick up the best signal?

Did you try to disable Bluetooth on the iPhone? I'm afraid this is the only way.
