Siri sets a timer instead of an alarm

Ever since WatchOS 10 update Siri doesn't understand it when I ask for an alarm after x amount of time and sets a timer instead. It used to be able to set the alarm. Anyone else notice this issue? I wonder if it will be fixed.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 10

Siri does not set alarm Hi, I have an issue since updating to iOS16.2: Siri does not set an alarm anymore. After the request Siri asks for patience and finally does not set the alarm. This was never an issue on previous iOS versions. I tested if it was an issue on all Siri requests, but it is not: when I ask Siri to bring me to another city, Maps is started and a route is created. So, (I think) it is not a 'full' Siri issue. Since the connected Apple Watch 7 was still on watchOS8.??, I updated the watch to watchOS9.2, but this did not solve the issue. Siri still won't set an alarm. Does anybody have an idea what I can do to resolve this? I don't want to reset the phone and start over... Resetting and putting back the back-up is an option, but that will not remove this Siri issue... Or is there an option to only reset Siri?

Siri Bug: "You don't have the Timer app installed" Today for no good reason: Siri started claiming that the Apple Watch does not have a timer. Perhaps Siri has a low opinion of the Apple Developers and their Apple Watch Timer App, but it would be nice if the Apple voice AI would recognize the presence of the Apple Watch Timer program.

Why does Siri not recognize Timers on my Apple Watch? I already have "Push Alerts from iPhone" enabled. How do you fix the problem of starting a timer on your watch and then asking Siri how much time is left or to stop the timer, etc. just for it to say "There are no timers" moments before the timer on my watch literally goes off? What happened to this seamless Apple ecosystem? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
