Apple Watch with iPhone SE Siri not playing nice!

Count me in too, Brand new 40mm series 5 for Xmas and the BT connection is abysmal. Plagued with constant lags and "oh oh, lost the connection..". To add insult to injury and wondering if you guys notice this too: the watch will not switch over to Wifi if BT is unusable. I have to force it to switch to wifi either from the Control Center or wifi settings.

Well with 6.2 something got "fixed"; Siri no longer says, "Oh oh, lost the connection.." but now says,, "Sorry, once again." or "Sorry, one more time."

Connectivity is still useless between SE and Apple Watch.

I just updated my Apple Watch S4 with the more recent S5 whilst holding onto my trusty iPhone SE and, all of a sudden, “all my troubles seem so far away“..

Please note that I have activated the new Watch by restoring from the S4 back-up, hence all setups and preferences are identical.

It seems like only the duo iPhone SE and Watch S4 Is affected by this well known bug.

Can anybody confirm my own experience?

Just a curiosity

/P

UPDATE: sorry, I have been over-optimistic. Siri has performed fine the first few times and now is back to the usual “oh oh. Sorry I lost connection“. Back to square one I guess.

Latest watchOS update released today 6.13 bring no resolution; connection problems and Siri Oh-Ohing continues 👎

I have the same issue with my SE. Got the Apple Watch 5 as a Christmas present and Siri has been a miserable experience so far. Very slow responses, constant "I am working on it", "uh oh lost connection", "can't take that request right now" etc etc. Even restoring both iPhone and Watch didn't change that. Wifi/Bluetooth is not an issue and Siri works very well on my SE.

Just got a series 5. SE phone. The connection to the internet is unusable when connected to my phone. Watch works great when connected directly to Wifi. Thinkings of returning the watch as it's basically unusable outside the house.

Agreed. For the first 5 minutes after updating to 6.1.2 it seemed that it was corrected. nope.

It blows my mind: the SE is right next to me and asking Siri the temperature outside takes approximately 30 seconds and balks with "Oh oh, lost connection.." after starting to answer.

This is still not resolved for me.

I have had a case open since 1/26, formally working this issue with several Senior Reps. And no one has been able to resolve it, and I have lost communication by email from the Rep who was helping me to resolve it.

I have escalated this to Apple Support again. Please reference this thread when you discuss with Apple.

Indeed, I now also get many “false positives“ from Siri on my Apple Watch. More often than before.

Every now and than, right in the middle of a conversation with somebody, it prompts an answer to bogus requests.

Like Apple increased the sensitivity of the device..

Only God nows what is going on..

Do not forget to tell us, what did the Engineering team told you, please.

Comment deleted, I thought my issue was fixed but it came back.

I have an iPhone 7 with the latest update and an apple watch series 2 with the 6.1.2 update, and Siri is not working. I’ve restarted, re-paired, etc, to no avail!
