Can anyone tell me how to disable the watch auto answer feature. No way I should have to manually switch the call from phone Bluetooth menu after answering it. I can find it anywhere in the gear settings on the app or the watch.
Thanks!
Resolved...had to turn off call audio in phone's Bluetooth settings.

I have the same Gear S3 and Pixel combo you do. I have been trying to resolve this and will try your idea. My only issue is that this is something that needs fixing because once I disable the BT profile I can't take calls when I want to.

Find anything new on this lately?

Shouldn't need to disable it. When I get a call if I answer with the watch it goes there. If I answer with phone it goes to earpiece.
 
I have the 5" Pixel, but still we should all be having the same experiences.

When I make a call it often goes straight to the watch. I tried the suggestion above but then you lose the watch ability to take calls. There must be something installed or setting that we have different.

How many/what kind of BT devices do you have?
