Galaxy Watch
Hello!
I want my watch to automatically enable it's mobile data, location, and WiFi connections when it disconnects from my phone so that I can just leave my phone behind when needed and my watch can seamlessly take care of my navigating and calling needs. I would also like those settings to automatically switch back off when the watch is back in range of the phone.
There are also currently no actions to enable such settings on my watch, and there is no trigger for "Watch on/off wrist".
This would be a great feature to have to make sure my watch battery isn't being drained by WiFi/Location/Mobile data being turned on and me forgetting to turn it back off after it is no longer needed. Plus, I am sure users would enjoy the ability to further automate tasks on their watches.
Thank you!

Routines don't apply to watches, but the watch can be a trigger for the things you want. There is no reason you cannot keep wifi and mobile data on on the watch at all times, as they are not active unless you are out of range or otherwise disconnected from your phone, so there would be no need for a routine to trigger it on your watch. Once reconnected to your phone the phone's mobile data and wifi already automatically take over. You are not saving any battery power by keeping wifi and mobile data off on the watch. You are not saving data on the watch, as none of that is in use unless disconnected from the phone. It's also necessary to be on if you have remote connection turned on. This enables you to receive notifications from apps not on your watch while disconnected as long as both the watch and phone are connected to any network (they do not have to be the same network or same type of network.)

Good to know, thank you! It still would be nice to have routines on the watches themselves as well as having the watch on/off trigger.

Everyone wants routines on the watches, and have been asking for quite some time.
