“If the watch is paired to my phone via Bluetooth and then I step into my car (which also has BT), will the car's system automatically take over for receiving/answering calls & texts? I would prefer that instead of using the watch while driving.”

Probably depends on the car software but in my wife's Toyota and my Scion the car takes over when your phone is connected to it.

Example: While driving if you receive a call your cell, watch and truck or car will notify you of a imcoming call. The device you answer on is one the call connection will be made on. Once in conversation switching between the three is easy.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Huawei's answer, consistent with the on-line manual, suggests this can't be done. My experience is quite different, and consistent with what occurred with my Samsung S2 Neo watch. The Huawei watch is connected to Bluetooth and enabled to receive phone audio. When I start my car, it ALSO connects to the phone's Bluetooth and ALSO shows that it is enabled to receive phone audio. I don't know if the difference is in the Android operating system (my Samsung S7 is on Android version 6.0.1) or the car (a 2013 Mercedes C300), but it is clearly NOT a limitation of the Huawei watch itself (even though Huawei's answer to the question suggests it is)....
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In my car if you answer from the car radio the call goes to car radio, but if you answer on the watch the call goes to watch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have the option on the watch to choose your preference.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The phone connects to your watch over bluetooth but is managed by the Android wesr app and does take over when using your car or Bluetooth headset. Saying that, this watch has a speaker and if you allow the watch to connect to the phone for audio (phone calls, maybe even music from phone too but haven't tried it) then it will not connect to car. The setting to change this is in the watch under settings and Bluetooth then "play phone audio on watch". You will need to also enable phone audio (music and/or phone calls) on the phone under Bluetooth and spefic device. As this watch has a speaker, I have also opened the Google music app and played music using the built in speaker, but so far have only played music that was saved on the watch. Have yet to send audio from the phone to the watch. Phone calls where watch is used as a speaker also need to be answered or madr from watch. If there is another way to do it, I haven't needed to look so far.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello SaltCellar, you would have to unsync the watch and then resync the car via Bluetooth as the connections will not switch over on their own. (AI)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In my experience, my Honda wants me to disconnect the watch from the phone most of the time before it will connect the phone to the radio. My nissan it works ok, but it locks up often and won't let me reset my radio until I restart the car.
