Apple Watch Series 8 - Measurement Suspended Issue

Hi All,

I recently bought Series 8's. However the noise app (and also Siri & dictation) both pop up with a "Measurement Suspended" (see attached) message. It's as if the mic is being used by another app, we've closed all apps on the watches, rebooted them, updated them to the latest Watch OS (iPhone 14's pro also both updated to 16.0.1) but no success. If this is a software issue please fix it soon. Otherwise I will sadly need to return the product. Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same issue; everything works fine if the watch is rebooted, but after an indeterminate amount of time, the microphone stops picking up any audio (and the Noise app, specifically, shows "measurement suspended").

I found something on the MacRumors forum that suggested deleting the Noise app - I'm giving that a try now and will report back; so far it's been about an hour and the watch is still responding to raise-to-speak.
