So I have spent all this money on a Galaxy watch (46) and a new S10. If my watch is connected to my phone BT for calls and on the charger in the other room and I answer a phone call on the phone the watch automatically picks up the call and I am hearing people on my watch in the other room trying to talk to me. Also, if my watch is connected to my phone BT for calls, my phone won't connect to SYNC in my car for calls. But as soon as I disable the "Use for Calls" button in BT setting the watch disconnects completely and now, no text messages on said watch? At this price and with this technology it should be a no brainer. I want my smart watch for everything but calls!!! Why is this so hard? Am I missing something? If Apple can do it why can't Samsung?
 
Sounds odd. I generally use my watch to check who's calling, but I answer on my phone. Once I do this, the watch doesn't pick up the call. As I understand it, this is the GW's normal behavior. Just to be clear, are you saying that when you answer a call on your phone, your watch also picks up?
 
That's correct... watch connected to phone for calls, watch on charger in next room, answer call on phone and the watch picked up the call.
