Why do you want this? A watch is too small (in my opinion) to replace a phone entirely, so you'd likely be carrying around a phone all the time anyway. Using bluetooth to share the phone's internet connection seems more sensible to me.

Ironically, a watch is just fine for taking phone calls. The Apple Watch can do it; I've used it a couple times when my phone was in the other room or I was driving and it was a lifesaver. It's actually a fair bit more convenient than speaking into a phone since it's lighter. Only problem is it's always on speaker, but in many cases where you don't have a phone handy, that's what you'd use anyway.
The reason you still need a phone is because we now use a phone for lots of tasks that used to require a desktop computer.
