Did the new Wear update take away the ability to switch off the connection?

With the old Wear app, it had a toggle to disconnect the watch so your phone doesn't look for the watch. This was handy when I wanted to use my Gear S2 instead of my Urbane. Now, after today's update, I can't find that toggle. Seems to always be looking for the Urbane. Am I missing something?

I'm on Marshmallow.

Thanks!
 
Yep, same on my Urbane and my G Watch R. No longer have the ability to manually connect/disconnect. It's a real problem for me as my Bluetooth streaming audio quality in my car is really poor when my watch is connected. I used to be able to disconnect, but no longer.
 
The update to Android Wear today added the connection toggle back.... but unfortunately it doesn't work. If you shut it off, it just turns back on by itself. Ugh.
