Because at home I don't carry it around. Outside, I would have to get it out of my pockets to be able to access it. Also in inclement weather a cheap/water proof watch is less of a risk.

What's the range on that smartwatch before it is disconnected from your phone?

We have not tested it in the open. Inside home it stays connected when I'm in kitchen and the phone is in bedroom. It has also stayed connected when I went out to my car which was across my patio.

Yes it is. Although, I believe it depends on the bluetooth's strength which may be device specific. Mine is a SGS4.
