Yes, I have unpaired and re-paired. The microphone icon on my phone is blue, Siri works fine there. I have Siri activated on the watch and they respond when I touch the face, but then cannot hear my response; Hey Siri does not work when lifting wrist; when creating a text or email, the microphone icon is there at the bottom right, but when activated, I get an orange microphone icon at the top right next to 'send' and it does not take dictation.
