Hi thespacelink,


OK, what you'll want to do is turn off the ringtone sound for your Apple Watch. On your iPhone > Apple Watch app > My Watch tab > Scroll down to Phone > Under "Ringtone" you can turn off sound. Then you'll get the haptic, in case you don't notice your iPhone getting a call.

Or you can turn off Haptic also, and you'll just see the call info on your watch.


Give that a try and see if you like either of those settings better.


Take care!

Greetings, thespacelink.


If your Apple Watch has a cellular plan, and you are actively using the watch, the calls will ring through to your Apple Watch. However, you can switch the call to your iPhone. 


Answer using your iPhone or send a text message instead: Tap the More button, then tap an option. If you tap Answer on iPhone, the call is placed on hold and the caller hears a repeated sound until you answer on your paired iPhone."Answer phone calls on Apple Watch 


We hope this helps! 


Sincerely.
