Can you set this watch to NOT answer the phone but to notify me about incoming calls? I don't want to talk through my watch.

The watch doesn't answer the phone call. You answer the phone call using either the watch or your phone. When your phone rings so will the watch (or vibrate depending on your preferences). Simply don't answer the call using the watch. You can see who's calling on the watch. Simply choose to answer the call using your phone. On my Galaxy smartphone I have to hit the headset icon to transfer the call audio from the watch to my phone. Simple.

Sorry, don't know about interference. Don't think there is a silent call feature.

Unfortunately no. Its based solely on Bluetooth technology (as ALL the smartwatches currently are) and gets all the data via your smartphone. Thus its not really a "smartwatch" more so a "notification watch"! Non-the-less still pretty cool/helpful. Side note however, Sony is releasing a NEW smartwatch this year and many other companies just released a handful of decent watches. I'd recommend doing a little more research (Google/YouTube) and finding a newer option! Good luck.

There is a little booklet that comes with the BC 1009 and I don't recall instructions on how to turn the unit off. You would think there would be a button to do that job but like my digital watch the only way you can turn it off is to remove the battery. Wish I had a better answer. Sorry.

Yes. And also decline the call. And also texts, emails and alerts from apps such as Facebook or any app you have set to send your phone notifications. There are also many apps for the watch specifically that will show you upcoming appointments for the iPhone calendar - the weather - tweets - etc

Yes, you can put the ringer on silent. It's on page 26 of the instruction book. The phone has the feature that annouces who is calling and you can also turn that off.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I am thinking of getting the unit and would like to set some handsets not to ring for the second line.

Actually, yes! I have the product manual in front of me. The default setting plays the incoming messages over the base speaker, but you can turn that off by turning off Call Screen in the settings menu. (It will still record messages, just not play them out loud.) Another way to achieve this is to turn on Silent Mode, which also turns off the ringer. A nice feature is you can set Silent Mode indefinitely or for 1-9 hours, so if you're having a party you won't have to remember to turn the ringer back on later.

The most useful thing to do on the watch is replying with pre-made messages. For example, you can set up canned replies such as, "I'm at work", "I'm at home", "I'm in class", "I'm on my way", "Busy, I'll call you later", etc. Then when a friend texts you, "What are you doing?" you can just glance at your watch, read the message and touch on a reply to send back.

yes, you the same way a message comes thru your phone it comes thru the watch. There is a an app where you can purchase where you can respond from your watch.

Hi, let's be clear. This is NOT a phone. This is a watch that connects to your phone through bluetooth and reflects some of the phone features in it.

Yes and no. With an add on app (such as Glance) you can respond to text messages with canned answers, such as: ok, I'm driving, I'm running late, ect. As far as answering phone calls, you can "accept" our "reject" from the watch.

You can turn the volume up on the phone and it gets louder on the watch. I am using it on iPhone 5. Everything works just like a blue tooth ear piece. Music plays though the watch to.

yes, the function you want is called "Call Screening." If Call Screening is set to ON you can hear the incoming message. If it is set to off you should not. Call Screening (p 24 of the User Guide) From the Answering Sys Menu: 1. Press the VOL (- or +) button to scroll to the Call Screening . 2. Press SELECT Soft key. Use the VOL (- or +) button to select On or Off . 3. Press the SELECT Soft key to save your selection and the screen displays Saved

Yes you can answer, communicate, dial from the watch(only from your phone book once it is paired. Now, my guess is if you can pair a Bluetooth earpiece you should be able to connect this watch, because the watch acts like a Bluetooth earpiece. I hope this helps. FYI if your interested in this product from my own experience: it displays military time, you have no tech support, it will not read your text messages unless you install a Bluetooth notifier at which the manufacturer does not tell you how to obtain it. If you can live with that it's ok. It's clear, rings loud, it's neat.

I bought this for my daughter who says that because it also acts as a regular watch you cannot turn it off. The GPS is only activated when in "run mode" so that can be deactivated but overall cannot be turned off. Hope that helps?
