So here is what happened. My wife has an iPhone and apple watch SE. Today, she had to go somewhere and I dropped off her to metro station and she forgot her phone in car.
The watch she was wearing is Apple watch SE and it is NOT cellular version. So it needs the phone to fully function.
Now I know the watch can connect to previously connected wifi so even if you don't have phone around, it be online in limited capacity.
what surprised me most was that in "Apple FindMy", I was getting updates on her location periodically. The watch was showing with screen off in find my which sort of indicates it is offline. But still every few min as she was moving in metro and even when she was not in metro.
Mumbai metro doesn't have wifi or anything.
I am puzzled as how this was working and I am very confused. No real time location was shown but if i kept the find my app open in my phone, every few minutes her watch locarion would update and it was accurate too.
Anyone has any explanation?
