Hi!
Recently, my watch has stopped accepting scheduled reminders via Siri. If I say something like "Hey Siri, at 1pm reminder me to check the laundry", I get something like "Something's wrong. Please try again later."
All of my devices are up to date and I have tried restarting my watch, but no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thank you for the information. I'm not sure what the problem may be, and I've not been able to duplicate your problem. I used the exact verbiage your quoted in your original post and it created the timed event right away. Of course, since it is already past 1:00pm, it created it for tomorrow. I also tried the message you quoted in your second response and it created a reminder for one hour from now.
Generally, Siri will only respond with a problem message if there is difficulty connecting to the internet. I have an Apple Watch Series 6 with watchOS v7.3, and an iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 14.4.
At this point, if resetting the Watch did not help, I would suggest trying to turn off Siri, then power the iPhone off and back on again, then turn Siri back on again and test it. If that does not help, then use the Contact Support link at the top of the page here to contact Apple Support for assistance. I cannot think of anything else to do.

Have you tried changing the way you say the request? Such as "Hey Siri, remind me to check the laundry at 1:00pm." Are you able to use Siri to set any reminders at all on the Watch? You can try resetting the Watch, which will not have any impact on your data. Press and hold the Digital Crown and the power button together until you see the Apple logo and release. The Watch will reboot. After it finishes connecting, try again.
I can create reminders with Siri on my watch. It's just when I try to include a time that I run into trouble. Same problem if I say "In one hour...". I reset the watch and also cycled the iCloud sync switch. Still no luck.
