Does Wi-Fi quality affect WatchConnectivity data transfers?

I work on an Apple Watch app that can preview what the iPhone camera sees, as well as controls it. I had one report of video quality seen on watchOS, both in resolution and FPS. The only time I've been able to reproduce this is with the "poor network quality" preset in the network link conditioner. Does this mean that the quality of the user's Wi-Fi connection is affecting their WatchConnectivity transfers?
