Q: Set answer call button on Apple Watch to pick up call on iPhone, not the watch?
It's super easy to do with my pebble:
1.push answer call button on pebble
2. put iPhone to my ear and start talking
BOOM, done. i just bought an Apple Watch 1, which is not here yet. So far its looking like from what I've read to do the same thing is like this:
1. Turn crown to make answer on iPhone button available.
2. Push revealed button
3. Open my wallet phone case
4. Swipe from bottom left of screen to pick up call
5. Close phone case
6. Put phone to ear and start talking
Please tell me that the green call answer button can be set to answer the call on the phone, not my watch. Im not Micheal knight, I want to use my phone! It should be configurable to swap the green button to answer on the phone and the revealed button to answer on the watch.
Apple Watch, watchOS 3

Hi
No, it is not currently possible to answer calls in the way that you would prefer.
The process that you have described (steps 1 - 6) accurately describes how to answer a call on your iPhone, via your watch. (If your iPhone is unlocked, having tapped on the Answer on iPhone button on your watch, you would instead just tap the green bar at the top of the screen on your iPhone).
