Yes. It uses bluetooth to audio the call through your Apple Watch. A feature not mentioned so it surprised me when I answered a call through the watch. Felt like Dick Tracy talking through my watch lol. This goes for txt message also. It has pre-made replies, but the swipe writing feature works pretty smoothly also, but it easier to reply via the phone. To all of it, yes the phone needs to be in range.

Yo do have to be 'in range' of the iPhone (Bluetooth 30-50 feet), but that range is often further than you might think (for example, when you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your Watch will remain in contact with your iPhone anywhere in the building where you're covered by that network. You could be upstairs in your bedroom and take a call while your phone is downstairs on the couch, if you have the same Wi-Fi in both rooms).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can receive/send calls and texts with GPS only as long as you are in bluetooth range or have wifi. I left my watch at home one day before work and did not even realize it because I was still getting notifications due to wifi.
