I often have my Moto Buds on and with my original Gear one of my favorite features was being able to swipe the watch to accept the call on headset without taking my N3 out of my pocket. Am I just missing something on the Fit because it appears I can only quick reply or reject a call and I really want that feature.
Thanks

I use an, admitedly ancient, Icon BT Headset for calls while driving, and all works well with one annoying problem.
With all other phones that I have used this with, the Headset synchronises completely with the phone. By this I mean that once connected, the phone's speaker is disabled and all keypad sounds, tones and other noises come through the Headset. To answer a call I could press "answer" on the phone OR press the button on the Headset, and the same to hang-up. Lovely Jubbly.
However, with the Blackstone, I have to Slide to Answer the Phone and then press the button on the Headset to activate that. Pressing the Button on the Headset alone does not answer the phone but instead tries to activate the Voice Dialling function, whether or not there is an incoming call.
The only noises that come through the headset, except while "in a call" are the ring tones.
Now, I ask, is this a problem with the Headset or, is that just the way things are with the Blackstone and BT Headsets?
If it's just that mine is old and knackered then I will get a new one, but i do not want to shell out for something that is not going to fix the problem.
OK. How about I rephrase the question.
Most of you out there use BT Headsets of some description. Which ones work like a common or garden phone?
Any? None?
Just want some advice before shelling out on trying to fix a problem that may or not be fixable.
Before you go spending money, try this software. It is fully featured and free for 15 days. It is an alternate bluetooth stack for Windows Mobile. See if it fixes your situation.
thanks for the advice.
been away, so only just got the message.
have installed. will report back with how it goes.
Really, what I want in my android wear device is
1. The time
2. my notifications (incoming calls, sms, email, alarms, etc)
3. Weather
4. a dialer to remotely call with my phone
Most of the other features are useless to me. However I do like Sony's smartband, and it's sleep alarm feature that will gently wake you up as you sleep. Are there any addons for watches that will do this?
I also want a high quality BT headset to pair with my phone.
Having nto paid enough attention to tech these past few years, what should I be getting?
never realized it is so many. I just want one that you can take calls on it and reply to text with voice. I don't care about the other things like your heart rate. But I got that feeling that is like asking for a HDTV without the Smart capabilities.
jaybird bt headphones the best...but i have noticed that the sound is inferior with the nexus 6 vs opo or motoX maybe lack of aptx
Alright, here is the issue. Defender B703 FreeMotion headphones don't connect to my Gear S, not even being seen by the device. Both of them work perfectly with 3rd party devices, but in no way with each other. Sadly enough, since making phone calls with the watch using its speaker is not an option.
Any help or advice will be appreciated.
You have to hit the bluetooth button that comes up on the watch when making the call
Can anyone please explain how to make and receive a call on a watch with a speaker? I tried initiating a call on my ZW2 and it went to the phone. I then tried answering an incoming call on the watch and it also went to the phone. Is there a way to make it go through the watch (only if initiated by the watch)?
Yes, I do have Marshmallow on my ZW2. Yes, this is the model with the speaker.
I sideloaded the update and initially had the same issue, I would scoll to my contacts and then try a call, it would use the speaker on the phone.
To fix it I sweep to the menu on the right (applications), then scrolled down Phone. From the phone application I then placed a call from the contact list that came up. That activated the speaker for me.
On the Zenwatch 2:
-Go to settings then scroll down to "Bluetooth"
-Tap "Play phone audio on watch on"
-Go to settings then scroll down to "Sound"
-Make sure the volumes are high enough on all of them so you can hear
To make a call on the Zenwatch:
-You can either say "Okay Google, call ______" or you can keep swiping left from your watch face until you see a bunch of your contacts
To receive a call on the Zenwatch:
As far as I know, if you answer the call with your phone, it will automatically use the phone's speaker.
If you answer with the watch, it should be using the watch's speaker
Okay, I found it. Thank you, both KevOne and Bladder61.

I've got some questions also. I'm trying to decide between the smaller Zenwatch 2 without the speaker and the larger one. Wondering really how useful the "call from your watch" feature really is.
1) If I've got a bluetooth unit in my car, will the phone automatically switch over from the watch to the in-car system when I turn the ignition?
2) Is the watch speaker loud enough that you could carry on a conversation on the street? I imagine you might have to hold it up to your ear.
I'm thinking of purchasing of style... But I heard Android wear 2 give option of only rejecting call.... So in case of style, does it give option to receive call so I can directly talk on Bluetooth headset and my phone remains in pocket?
If this is not happening, Android wear 2 is deal breaker for me.
I had the Style (could not find the Sport anywhere) but I returned it because the Style has no speaker.
Should be able to answer a phone call.
My sistem have problem
Hello all, I just purchased the watch style, it does I fact have an accept call button option when you receive a call, but the like the other says, it says take call on phone.
