call handling

Call handling is strong, with call screening features and clear voice pickup even in noisy environments.

Reviews describe wrist-based calling support over Bluetooth as part of the watch’s smart feature set.

Call handling is generally good, helped by features like voice isolation and gesture support, though the small onboard speaker is not especially rich or powerful.

Bluetooth calling works and can sound clear, but call performance is not completely consistent.

Call handling is a clear weakness because the Vivoactive 5 lacks real on-wrist calling hardware.
