How to make a FaceTime call on your Apple Watch
Using the Phone app
To adjust the volume during the call, rotate the Digital Crown. If you have recently called someone or have added them as your favorite, tap Recents or Favorite, select the contact. If your cellular carrier offers a Wi-Fi calling service, you can make or receive FaceTime calls on your Apple Watch via Wi-Fi instead of the cellular network.
Using Siri
Siri will place the calls using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection, depending on your watch model and settings. If you don’t want to employ the voice assistant or tell everyone around who you are calling, hop on to the next trick.
