Using Gear S2 for calls with bluetooth earbuds?

[AC Question]

Using Gear S2 for calls with bluetooth earbuds.

Hello, I have somewhat of a specific question I can't seem to find a direct answer to. I really like the Gear S2 watch but one major thing I'm curious about is how calls will function when I have earbuds connected to my phone as well. Can I talk through the watch microphone while the caller is routed to my earbuds? Or would I have to pull out my phone so they could hear me while I can hear them on the earbuds? Thanks!

Mod Note, I will move this to the s2 forums

I have my Yurbuds leap wireless ear buds connected and love them with this watch. if you want to talk using the ear buds, just press the middle of button briefly and talk. Same to disconnect. if you want to talk on watch instead, answer call on watch...it will bypass ear buds. Same for my jbl reflect ear buds.

Okay so those Yurbuds have a microphone which you can use for calls. When you say answer it on the watch and it will bypass the earbuds, you mean it goes straight to the phone then? Because almost everywhere I have checked people say the gear s2 will not handle phone calls, you can answer it but must get your phone to start talking.

Thanks for the reply!

Edit: The ideal scenario I am looking for is using a pair of earbuds, answering a call on the watch, hearing the caller in the earbuds and responding to them on the watch, without having to pick up my phone. I somewhat doubt that it is possible, but it would be awesome!
