Some watches can't report phone battery?

Whilst surfing the community posts (new and old) I read somewhere that some watches dont report the phone battery. This is of concern to me because all the watches I make have both watch and phone batteries shown either as text, icons or gauges, or all three! Is there some method of being able to not show phone battery info if the user’s watch doesn’t support it? I don’t want to have a ‘dead’ guage, text or icon showing on any of my watches.
‘I’m alright Jack’ - my watch athough old shows both batteries but if i eventually publish I don’t want to have to change the design to account for this ‘problem’.

I don’t use phone battery at all, my watch is usually not online, to save battery. And I have not found this to be useful. Anyway, that’s just me….

Hmmm…‘Watch is not usually online’ - I’m relatively new to facer so this means not using weather, fitness or location tags or anything else from the phone and the watch can atleast to certain degree work without a phone present?

I do have a few faces which give me all the information for outdoor activity, but I’ll only wear those when on a hike. I’m more into technical, analog and chronographs watches.

Because of that problem cropping up some time ago, I have never included any Phone Gauges and/or Text readings since :grin:
