This is really important, and here's why. To Apple Watch could be notified and calls with the iPhone, they must have a permanent connection to the phone. If the clock support only Bluetooth-connection, the possibility of the gadget would be significantly limited. For example, the user has left the smartphone on the table in the office and walked out of the premises. The clock on the Android Wear in this situation go offline mode. The range of Bluetooth is limited to 30 meters, and in the rooms it is reduced by several times.
