You can also choose to answer the call on your iPhone or send a text message. When the call comes in, turn the Digital Crown or swipe upwards to access these options.

I was looking for how to answer on the iPhone from the Watch! I appreciate the tip! Article officially useful

Receiving a call fine but if my iPhone is right beside me why would I try and make a call on my watch? Seems odd. #oldmancan'tchangehisways

The favorites button, me being undressed in my bedroom, and my phone being docked in another room with guests made calling very convenient yesterday. The recipient said that the clarity was better than from my regular phone line.

Yes, my wife told me the call clarity to her from my watch was excellent; too bad the speaker in the watch isn't louder, would be a useful hands-free in the car.

Watch is so complicated we will be waist deep in articles until Apple Watch 2 is released.

Followed by the scintillating and much anticipated: How To Tell Time On Your Apple Watch!!!! Yes, ladies and gents, it does actually tell the time!!!! (You paid extra for that, you know).

I'm enjoying the watch, I love my Pebble but this watch really is a marvel, especially first release. That said my watch has an interesting hitch with my iPhone6.

If I use Siri to call someone, phone is in standby sitting in desk. Shortly after the call begins, the iPhone wakes shows home, then Apple Logo reset, then home, the Apple logo reset loop is continuous until the call is ended. The call is not broken and all is normal after the call.

If I receive a call on the watch there are no issues.

Siri used to freeze up the watch after this but the latest watch update seems to have fixed this issue where saying "Hey Siri" would give me a hung up screen.

So it's not perfect just yet. Apple has no idea why this is happening, I've reset the phone and restored it multiple times.

Sorry, but this statement makes it sound like the Apple Watch is the first smartwatch to offer this functionality. Where, in fact, it is not the first. So, yes, I did think the day would come because it had already come last year with the Samsung Gear S:

(It gives me no pleasure in pointing this out since I dispise Samsung. But facts are facts.)

I don't understand your logic.

To THIS person, it's his first experience with a phone call on his wrist. So, to HIM, it's FIRST and new and unique.

When I fly my first flying car in 20 years, it won't matter that they already made them in the 1980s. It's still not a reality today. So, the FIRST one will be the one released that I'm able to actually use myself.

And the first call on a wrist happened back in the 1950s. So, why are you talking about Samsung at all?

(In the 1950s, they had wrist communication through wrist walkie-talkies - cell phone towers weren't around then. Later, there were some cell phones that could be strapped on your wrist. ALL decades before Samsung. But you want to point them out. Why?)

I actually thought that calling on your wrist was dumb until I started using it.

For example, I'm getting ready to go and my friend calls...

Instead of holding the phone in one hand on speakerphone and running around getting my shoes on, getting everything into my backpack, filling up my water bottle etc with the other hand, I just use my watch and I can use two hands. It works very well, and from what I can tell the watch seems to have a much better speakerphone than the actual iPhone.

The other day, I was working on my bike when my mom called. Again, being able to just tap and talk is surprisingly convenient.

My caller told me that the mic is better also. I often prefer it over a phone which is getting bigger and BIGGER.

Since I use my AW, my mac does not pick up calls. It seems like the calls are always routed to the watch. It would be nice if I had the option of deciding to answer the call from the watch or from the Mac.

The call volume on the watch is utter crap, even in a quiet room.

I have not found that at all. Even worked fine iin a car being driven at highway speed. Would not try it in a noisier environment though.

This is my second Watch and it's been that way on both :/
