Stop Siri Announcements on Watch While Using Activity

Since buying an iPhone 13 Pro, Siri has been activated on my Apple Watch 4 - specifically while using Activity. I don't want Siri to announce when I have hit a mile, or my speed. I want it to just go back to and vibration and 'ding' at each mile.

I am on Watch 8.0.1 and iOS 15.0.2.

Using the Watch App on my Phone:

I have looked at Activity, which has 'Allow Notifications' on, since I want the vibration and 'ding';

Sounds & Haptics (nothing about Siri);

Siri, which has 'Listen for "Hey Siri" turned on, Voice Feedback which is 'Control with Silent Mode' turned on, and the only 'Siri Suggestions' are Maps.

Where would this control be hiding?

I found it. Under 'Workout', at the bottom is a 'Voice Feedback'.

Turn that off and Siri stops announcing my workout to me.

This is accessed on the Watch App on the iPhone. Under the 'My Watch' tab at the bottom. Scroll down to Workout.

This was the information I needed to find the option.

I guess that is new under WatchOS 8?

Thanks for your comment, but a little help here.

I assume this is the control within the Watch App.

I just unpaired and rep-paired my watch because of other issues.

Under Siri in the Watch App on the iPhone, on 'Voice Feedback' there is not a way to 'turn off'.

There is 'Aways On', 'Control with Silent Mode', and 'Headphones Only'.

I don't want to remove or shut down Siri completely. I want it to only respond when I say 'Hey Siri'.

I do not want any announcements when using 'Workout'. [I said 'Activity' in my original note which is not correct.]
