Answering a call on my Watch 5, only connects to the call on the phone not the watch. The watch states ongoing call on phone which I then have to find to speak to anyone. I have looked for a setting to change this but unable to find one.
I had same issue and this worked. Hold down Bluetooth button from pull down menu. Click the gear beside the watch. Uncheck the "calls" and then recheck. Make sure the second one is unchecked. If both are already unchecked, then check the top one "calls". Now when incoming call the answer button doesn't have the phone icon and it answers directly on watch.
Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand your frustration with not being able to take phone calls on your watch and would be happy to look into this further for you. Just to clarify is your Galaxy watch 5 within Bluetooth range of your phone when you are experiencing these symptoms?
Depending on your smartwatch, you can make and answer calls right from your wrist! You just need to make sure the watch is connected to your phone through Bluetooth or through a mobile network. With an LTE watch model, you can even handle calls remotely.

Thank you for a waste of time to read this, it literally addressed nothing that this post was asking, Samsung you are going the way of Apple lately and it's heartbreaking.
How do you answer calls on your watch 5 Pro when it's connected to your phone bc there is no setting to change on the watch or the phone, I could do it on the 4. Is it possible you completely overlooked this while designing the software
I have a similar problem. my watch5 is LTE. when my watch is connected to my S21 via bluetooth and I get a call and try to answer it on my watch it will transfer the call to my phone. very annoying when I'm in the kitchen and the phone is in the office. if I wanted to answer the call on the phone I would have answered it on the phone.
