Gear S3 watch auto answering phone calls

[Android Central Question]

Hello. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Gear S3 smartwatch and paired it with my Galaxy S7. Whenever I receive a phone call while paired to the watch, it auto-answers. I don't have the option to answer or decline, it automatically pics up. Needless to say this could cause some sticky situations. The phone does NOT do this when unpaired from the watch.

Thanks in advance!
