Apple Watch - when I wash my hands, Siri activatess

Not all the time, but frequently when I’m washing my hands, Siri thinks I’m talking to her. I know I’m not pushing in the digital crown because I have a protective band and the crown is protective.

Normally, Siri thinks it’s a blank question and tells me she’s not sure.

Siri volunteers repeatedly to help without being asked. My Apple Watch (Model MWW12LL/A) Siri repeatedly volunteers to find information when I am conversing with others but did not invoke Siri. This suggests my Apple Watch is listening to my conversations.

Siri Calling on Apple Watch Not Working I’ve tried this on my watch and every watch in an Apple Store. When using Siri on your Apple Watch if you ask it to call certain businesses not it your contacts, it will come up with a yes or no prompt. If you click yes, it will loop the yes and no prompt endlessly. If you click no it will bring up web results for a meghan trainor music video entitled “No.” This baffled all members of the Genius Bar and I was left with no fix. Let’s make some noise and get this fixed! All steps have also been taken to wipe and restore both phones and watches from scratch without a backup so those suggestions will not help. Also this was tested on a Series 6 all the way to current gen at the store.

Siri Listening even when turned off Siri is speaking through my watch even though I have turned off “Listen for ‘HeySiri’ “ in my watch settings. Even when not depressing the digital crown to manually invoke Siri, ‘she’ will speak over my watch. I have also turned off “Listen for Hey Siri” on my iPhone. Why is she still listening and talking to me?
