Does the Apple Watch have a built in microphone?

Answered by Cody Janus

The Apple Watch does have a built-in microphone. I personally own an Apple Watch and have used the microphone feature multiple times. It’s a convenient feature that allows you to answer calls directly from your wrist without needing to reach for your iPhone.

When you receive an incoming call on your Apple Watch, you have a few options for how to handle it. You can either answer the call, send it to voicemail, or decline the call. If you choose to answer the call, you can do so directly on your Apple Watch by tapping the Answer button.

Once you’ve answered the call, you can speak into the built-in microphone on your Apple Watch to have a conversation with the caller. The microphone is located on the side of the device, near the speaker. It’s designed to pick up your voice clearly, allowing you to have a conversation without the need for your iPhone.

In addition to using the built-in microphone, you can also use a Bluetooth device paired with your Apple Watch for calls. This can be particularly useful if you prefer to use a hands-free device, such as a Bluetooth headset or earphones, for better audio quality and convenience.

I find the microphone on the Apple Watch to be quite reliable and clear. I’ve used it in various situations, such as when I’m out for a run and don’t have my iPhone with me, or when I’m cooking in the kitchen and my iPhone is in another room. Being able to take calls directly on my Apple Watch and use the built-in microphone has been a great convenience.

Yes, the Apple Watch does have a built-in microphone that allows you to answer calls and have conversations directly from your wrist. It’s a useful feature that adds to the functionality and convenience of the device.
