Is it possible to handle network connection issues...

Is it possible to handle network connection issues when using a watch? You said they watchers never throw here. Is it possible to emit network connection issues?

Not at the moment. Can you share more about the use case?

My understanding is a watch will perform a network request and also monitor the cache right? So in the case where neither network or cache is available I’d like to be able to handle that situation.

What I'd suggest is used some coroutines magic to emulate this:

apolloClient.query(query).toFlow()
        .catch { 
          // Handle errors here
        }
        .onCompletion {
          emitAll(apolloClient.query(query).watch())
        }
