Question How to Forward Calls From Phone to Watch (and Back Again)?

[isamsson]

I have a Galaxy Watch/Phone combo. Right now, when I'm wearing the watch with my phone in my pocket, both will ring when I get a call (and the ringtones don't ring at the exact same time, so it's kind of a cluster of sound).

Is there a setting (either on the phone or watch) that will just forward the calls past the phone directly to the watch when it's on? Then when I turn the watch off, the phone takes back over priority? I only need one ringing at a time.

Which Galaxy Watch do you have, so I can move this to the appropriate forum?

You can put the phone on vibrate that way it rings through the watch and when the watch is off you still get the vibration when a call comes through

I've also Heard people doing this with DND.

On the PHONE:
Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb
Turn on Sync with Galaxy Watch
Allow calls from:
Favorites OR
Repeated callers (your choice)

On the WATCH:
Enable Do Not Disturb
Leave calls allowed on watch
Result:
Watch rings
Phone stays quiet
When watch is off > phone rings normally
This is the closest thing to priority switching Samsung offers.
