I have a GW4 Classic and watch is always connected via Bluetooth. Only for updates (apps/system) or when I am always from the phone, I turn on the Wi-Fi. 

My feeling is that when the watch is not connected via Bluetooth, it constantly checks for the phone (even when connected via Wi-Fi). 

If you keep the Wi-Fi toggled on, your watch will automatically connect to Wi-Fi as and when needed.

I've always use Bluetooth to connect my Frontier and Watch⁴ Classic to my phone's and not noticed any excessive battery loss @Ginsing64

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

Just leave the watch to do its thing regarding connectivity. Mine switches between Bluetooth when near the phone, to WiFi if downloading larger files, to 4G if I leave the phone at home.
