Apple Watch unable to send out text
I have seen questions and comments on Apple Watches unable to send text messages when the iPhone is off….
but why can’t the Apple Watch send messages when it’s connected to WiFi even if the iPhone is off? Thx

So I assumed this to be the case. Apple Watch can send a text if connected to Wifi regardless of iPhone (On/Off).
My Apple Watch is still unable to send a text w/ iPhone off while be connected to Wifi is there a setting or function that I need to change or disable to allow Apple Watch text on Wifi?

It worked! Super helpful! Thank you!
No a Watch cannot sent a SMS Text. It can send an imessage to another iPhone user only.
Are you sure the Watch is connected to Wi-Fi? If you go to Wi-Fi w=settings while the phone is off and click on the router name does it say "Forget this network" (connected) or ask for a password (Not connected)
To reiterate, Apple Watch without a cellular feature and a valid cellular plan cannot sent SMS Texts without the iPhone nearby. If you have a cellular watch and plan then contact the provider.
Ok two last tries then its Contact - Official Apple Support
Turn on the iphone and in settings...
Settings, Messages, Turn off iMessage
Settings, Face Time, Turn off Face Time
Restart the phone.
Settings, Messages, Turn on iMessage, SMS, MMS
Settings, Messages, send & Receive, select your apple ID which should now be there.
Settings, Face Time, Turn on Face Time
Then with the Wi-Fi
Reset the Router to factory settings (check the manual)
Then On iphone Settings, General, Transfer iphone or reset, reset, reset network settings
If you have a VPN you are strongly recommended to uninstall it and its profile in Settings, General, VPN and device management
If still no joy
Unpair and set up again
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)
and then
Set up your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)
God luck, I'm out.
Text messages (eg to Android users) require cellular connection.
iMessages require wi-fi to Apple users only but does work when iPhone is off (I just tested it to make sure)
Yes, shows WIFI icon and “Forget this Network”
thats not working to my apple watch series 7.what should i do now?
