Will Android Wear keep time without being connect to a phone?

[AC Question]

Android wear without a phone

I recently accepted a job that prohibits me from using my phone while on the job. My shifts range from 10-12 hrs a day. I am also told that a wrist watch is part of the uniform. I was wondering would an android wear still keep time even when disconnected from a phone so long and would it give me messages constantly to reconnect it. I want a wear watch so I can use its functions outside of work while still meeting my uniform requirement.

Welcome to Android Central! Yes, it will keep the correct time even when not connected to your phone. Newer Android Wear watches like the LG Urbane can also connect to wi-fi themselves, pulling information directly from the web.

Yeah that amount of time will be fine, going a week will probably see some slippage. Unless like Diddy said it can connect to some Wifi.

If it's like my LG G Watch, when you're disconnected you'll see a small cloud near the top of watch. If the watch is in Airplane Mode it'll be a small plane instead of the cloud. No continuous reconnect messages.

With a WiFi enabled watch you can leave your phone home and all get notifications is your have WiFi.
