If the headset is connected to the watch just answer the call by tapping the green button on the watch. If the headset is connected to your iPhone it is not really practical to answer from the watch and speak on the headset. You would need to do a very fast headset disconnect from the phone and connect to the watch - too slow. Otherwise you would have to answer on the watch, pickup and unlock the iPhone then take control back to the iPhone so the call comes to the headset - again too much to go wrong and fat finger.
