> An Apple Watch with Crash Detection can only notify authorities if you have your iPhone with you, or if it’s connected to a mobile network or Wi-Fi.

I was at a friends house the other day and had forgotten my phone, but was still getting texts/notifications come through on the watch because I had previously connected to the wifi network on my phone (which was sitting in my house).
Clever.
All Apple devices which use the same iCloud account sync wifi network configurations. This has been a feature I think for around 10 years or more.
(not to downplay the novelty of just now discovering it, totally appreciate that!)
