If you've already answered the call on your Apple Watch, you can transfer it to your iPhone in one of two ways:

If your iPhone is locked, swipe up on the Phone icon from the bottom left corner of the screen.
If your iPhone is unlocked, just tap the "Touch to return to call" green bar at the top of the screen.

Sorry, no. You have to open your phone. Or maybe consider pairing the headphones with your watch instead.

Then I'm confused. If you have successfully paired your headphones to your watch, you should be able to answer a call from the watch via the headset. If you then wish to transfer the call to your phone, you can do so, but you have to open the phone and tap the call there.

Sorry, I'm just not familiar with Series 1. What is the current OS you are using on your watch? If you are using OS 4.2, you should have a Bluetooth icon/button in Control Setting. This is just to turn it on and off easily.

Sounds like you've made some good progress. When you open control center on your watch (swipe up from the bottom of the watch screen) is Bluetooth on or off?

Hi. Sorry for the delayed response. I have tried the below steps.

1. Unpaired and forgot the device in both phone and watch

2. Resetted the headphone

3. Then paired the headphone with the watch. Now only watch is connected to the headset.

4. When i received the call in my iphone, answered the call through my watch. It connected to the watch speaker even watch is connected to headphone.

Same behavior for both incoming and outgoing calls. I wanted it to connect to the headset instead connecting to the watch speaker.

Please advise.

Thanks

Swipe up on your iPhone to open Control Center. Then make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on. Your Apple Watch uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to communicate with your paired iPhone, switching between connections as needed: Your Apple Watch uses Bluetooth when your iPhone is near, which conserves power.Dec 12, 2017

It's the symbol next to the Wifi Button.

If your phone is nearby your headset believes it’s paired to your phone. Have your phone forget the headset and then pair it with your watch. If you can reset the headset before pairing it should connect easily.

I didn't realize it's a Series 1. Without Bluetooth on the watch, you can't pair a headset to your watch. So, to your question, there would be no way to switch to your phone without opening it.
