Let Apple watch with LTE manage the phone calls

Hi all ☺️

Is there any way to let my Apple watch ultra with LTE receive phone calls without bridging onto my iPhone when my phone is near when receiving a call?

When i am answering a phone call on my watch, the iphone seems to become the main driver of that call.

I can see the logo (phone) at the top left corner of my watch when I am anwsering a call.

I want LTE and I want my airpods to only be managed by the watch.

is this a possibility ?

The best experience I had with my Apple Watch and Airpods was when it was not paired to my iPhone. It was a blessing.

My phone calls on the LTE Apple Warch were amazing, consistent and reliable.

Since i got another iPhone14pro, now people are complaining about cut offs.

When im to far away from the iPhone but in the same house, calls quality get a hit….

Never happened with an unpaired Apple Watch best experience ever using LTE.

Am i missing or missunderstanding something here?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch
