A:AnswerYou will need to have you phone nearby to send text from the watch, but you can only answer or decline calls. Answered calls are sent to your phone or ear buds to continue the call( i.e.- you can not answer a call and talk to your watch like the Apple watch, but mostly everything else is similar.).
