...works!
This may be something documented somewhere, but I haven't come across it. It may be a "well, of course" sort of thing to some of you, but it wasn't to me.
In short, you can activate/deactivate call forwarding on the phone when connected remotely through wifi or the 3G network. For some reason, I thought you had to have a local BT connection to initiate the requests (dialing sequence), probably because that's how I've always done it.
Well, caught myself away from home without my phone today and thought, I wonder if it works remotely? Isn't any reason it shouldn't. So, I turned on forwarding, and it worked fine. Quite a bit longer wait with the spinning busy indicator on the watch display, but it did indeed invoke the forwarding codes on the phone.
On afterthought, this makes total sense -- that's the most valuable use of this function, of course -- when you've forgotten your phone. Still, it was cool to find that this capability is there, and you don't have to "plan ahead" to forward the phone to your watch.
It ups the value tremendously of the 3G feature.
