No, the Apple Watch does not have a mobile phone in it. When in the car, all calls are automatically routed to the in-car phone system. When she has her earpiece on, iOS routes the calls there. Otherwise calls go to her watch when she uses the watch to answer the calls. David Chittenden, MSc,

Just a slight correction, Apple watch OS 2.1 does in fact have calling over WiFi support. You can dial out with out having your phone on or in range and also receive calls. The bluetooth thing is very definitely a problem though. Multipoint aside that’s just weak sauce. > On Jan 3, 2016, at

So, to me, this is weak sauce. Why put the option in, you’re telling me you can’t set up a separate session from the watch to phone and another from watch to headset? Really? Must be a hardware limitation but seems goofy to me. But that’s me. > On Jan 1, 2016, at 11:24 AM, Ricardo Walker

To me too. When I was on the phone with Apple, the person had this attitude like, why would anyone want to do what your asking? They didn’t say that but, just by their tone. I’m like, ok. You have the ability to put music on your watch. So if your listening to music, jogging, cycling, etc, a

hay scott, i pair my platronics you told me to get with my phone and watch every day. the trick is you need a device that can pair to 2 devices at the same time like the plantronics and they automatically switch. thus when the watch rings if you answer on the watch it will work > On Jan 1,

Yup, Exactly. I called Apple yesterday, and this is indeed not a bug. Its a limitation caused by how they route calls. Basically, Your watch is already being treated as a bluetooth speaker/mic. So,The call is being defaulted to the watch speaker. I didn’t realize that calls were being relayed
