WearablesI recently purchased a Galaxy Watch Ultra and paired it with my Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, I've noticed that the watch only connects to my phone via Bluetooth. If Bluetooth is turned off, the watch is unable to connect, even though both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
I was under the impression that the Galaxy Watch Ultra should also be able to connect to the phone over Wi-Fi when Bluetooth is unavailable. Is this a normal limitation, or is there a problem with my device or settings?
Please let me know if this is expected behavior, or if there is a way to enable Wi-Fi-based connectivity between the devices when Bluetooth is off
