Using smartwatch as a mic for phone calls

I'm looking to buy a smartwatch to go with my S6 edge, but I have a pretty apparently unusual thing I'd like it to do.

 

I have a pair of Shure earphones which I really like and I listen to music on my phone a lot. However, my earphones (like a lot of other good ones) don't have a mic or inline controls.

 

I'm wondering if I can use a smartwatch to answer phone calls and talk into it while hearing in my headphones. Basically have the watch as a mic and the phone as a speaker for phone calls.

 

Is it at all possible? Are there any watches in particular that might be able to do that?

 

The current contenders I'm considering are the Huawei Watch, Moto 360 2015 and Samsung Gear S2 (love that rotating bezel, but the OS is scary).

There's an idea xD

 

Still, the whole point of this is that I want to keep using my earphones (or maybe other high end headphones that don't have a mic in the future).
