Q: Can I use Siri on my Apple Watch to post my weight to the health app?

I would like to be able to talk to Siri on my watch and have my weight posted in the Apple Health app on my iPhone.

Apparently I was successful once as there is an entry that shows a watch as the source of the info, but that was just luck getting that posted.

Are there steps I need to say or do to have this happen regularly?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 1 TB, iPhone, Apple Watch, 2 router

A:

When you set up the Activity app on your watch, you entered personal information: your birthdate, gender, height and weight.

As a result of completing this process on your watch, your height and weight were recorded within the Health app on your iPhone with your watch (accurately) shown as the data source.

Hi,

This is what Siri can do on an Apple Watch > Use Siri on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

"Apparently I was successful once as there is an entry that shows a watch as the source of the info, but that was just luck getting that posted."

Doubtful Siri did that.

Hi

No - I'm afraid that is not possible.

Your weight would have been added to the Health app, with the watch as the source, when you set up the Activity app.

If you would like to suggest that Apple considers adding new features, you can do so here:

Thanks for the reply.
But there on my Health Dashboard in weight and showing all recorded data ... are the normal manually entered listings with the exception of one that shows a watch symbol instead of the Heart which is for manually entered ones.

Odd... and it made me feel hopeful
