Can IQ Apps use the watches wifi?

Hi,

i have a watch with wifi capabilities. Is the watches wifi possible for apps and widges to receive information from the internet, like for example weather updates etc?

Or does this only work via bluetooth connection to the phone, and wifi is only used for syncing workouts, music etc?

Thanks

In general, you can't use wifi unless the specific app/widget uses wifi in the same way as music download does - See the bulk download example in the SDK. The exception is edge devices have wifi on if you aren't recording an activity. Wifi eats the battery so it is off on watches most of the time.
