We recently witnessed the debut of a slew of wearables from the most disparate brands, including accessories equipped with Wear OS and novelties driven by proprietary systems: the perfect opportunity to take stock of the situation in order to know what the SmartWatch which can be used for reply calls and Message directly from the wrist. And now let's get into it and let's try to clarify, so you can choose the model that best suits your needs!
22 / 10 Update: added the new Huawei Watch GT 3. Find all the details in the section dedicated to wearables of the Chinese brand.
Smartwatch to answer calls and messages directly from your wrist
Let's do some clarity
Let's start from a fixed point that perhaps will interest a lot to fans of Chinese brands: Xiaomi's wearables for the Italian market do not allow you to answer messages and calls. At most you can view notifications and read the contents of SMS e Whatsapp (To messaging and more), but there is no function to answer directly from the wrist. At present the smartwatches that allow you to reply a calls e Message are the ones equipped with Wear OS (Google's operating system for wearables) or Tizen, solution present on Samsung wearables. However, there are also solutions with a proprietary system that allow you to answer calls directly from your wrist, but more on that later.
Smartwatch with microphone
In the case of the smartwatches equipped with microphone - talking about Wear OS and Tizen - it is possible to use this component to answer calls directly from the wearable. In addition to the microphone there is also a speaker. Obviously, the device must be connected to a smartphone, unless it is a wearable with LTE connectivity.

Furthermore, the mere presence of microphone it does not indicate that the terminal is suitable for answering calls. Just think of the last one Xiaomi Mi Watch, which integrates a microphone along the edge of the speaker: in this case it is a solution that will allow interfacing with Alexa (via a later update), but it has nothing to do with being able to answer phone calls right from your wrist.
Taking as an example OPPO watch (reviewed here), to stay on the subject of China, there is both the speaker and the microphone: in this case it is possible to answer calls and messages thanks to Wear OS.
Smartwatch with Wear OS to answer calls and messages
Wear OS is the operating system of Google dedicated to wearables and allows you to respond to Message thanks to the implementation of an integrated virtual keyboard. On the official website of the OS there is a list with various supported smartwatches, which we propose again below.

Is Apple Watch part of the smartwatches that can answer messages and calls?
If while reading this article you have thought about Cupertino, do not worry because it was not excluded. The wearables series Apple Watch is able to answer Message e calls and offers integrated microphone and speaker. The icing on the cake, it is also able to respond with i voice messages (only on Apple messaging and Telegram, at the time of writing the function is not available with WhatsApp). However, it is good to specify that Cupertino wearables "They don't get along very well" (i.e. they don't work) with Android: you will need to have a iPhone, otherwise it will be necessary to turn away.
