Why has Siri quit working on my Apple Watch?
It’s always worked. I need it to work again. I’ve tried all the suggestions I’ve found.

Goldye,
We definitely understand, and we'll do everything we can to help get Siri working on your Apple Watch again.
How are you trying to use Siri on your Apple Watch? Are you activating Siri by saying "Hey Siri," or are you using Siri another way, (such as by pressing the Digital Crown, or raising your wrist)?
If you add Siri to the watch face using the steps under the "Add Siri to your watch face" part of the link we provided in our initial response, does Siri work as expected?
If the issue only happens when trying to use "Hey Siri," do you have any kind of case on your Apple Watch that may be covering the microphone or speaker? If so, does removing the case change anything?
Are you able to use Siri on your Apple Watch's paired iPhone without any issues? Use Siri on all your Apple devices
Also, we noticed that your iPhone is running an older software version, since iOS 13.7 was recently released. We'd suggest backing up and updating to the latest iOS version to to help rule out any possible software issues. This page goes over the steps to back up and update your device:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thanks!
