How to increase incoming call volume on my Apple Watch?

How do I increase volume on incoming calls on watch. I used to be able to answer calls on my watch and now I can't hear anyone if I try to do that.

In case you were not aware, when you're on a call on your Apple Watch, you can adjust the volume by turning the Digital Crown (the round button on the side of the watch). Make sure you're turning it while on the call to increase the volume.


Here are a few things you can try:

  • Check the Volume Settings: On your Watch, tap on the Settings app. Scroll down and tap Sounds & Haptics. Use the slider under Alert Volume to increase the overall volume on your watch.
  • Check to make sure the speaker on your Apple Watch isn’t blocked or covered. Dust or debris can sometimes reduce sound quality.
  • Try restarting the Watch.

Thank you for your input. I should have added that I do not have the watch which can make and receive calls without my iPhone. My volume on the watch was already turned up as high as it would go. I always leave my phone on mute so perhaps that was the reason I couldn't hear on my watch. I am scheduled for a new watch when the new one is released as I'm having other issues.
