How can I set reminders on my Apple Watch for daily tasks?

I was told by Apple Support in Oct'24 that the new Series 10 watch would be able to speak back to you, i.e. tell you or remind you to do a task e.g. 'tell me to get the washing out of the tumble dryer in 30 mins' so having bought a new iWatch for £350 and asked Support for help in setting it up, I now find it cannot do this. Does anyone have any ideas because this is a huge opportunity to do good, and help people like my wife, and me as her full time carer. The iWatch even has an option in Settings > Siri > Siri Responses > Always on (for spoken responses), so it should work... Come on Apple get this sorted please, it is very frustrating and annoying it's so close.
