Hey Siri Problem

My issue is that "Hey Siri" doesn't work at all. I'm speaking directly in to the microphone with no success. Oddly, in the dozens of times I've tried it, "Hey Siri" has worked ONCE and I have no clue what could have caused it.

Same issue, say it all at once and its fine, wait for it and it freezes.

Hey Gabe,
Thanks for the advice. I saw in another thread that unpairing the watch could make Siri work. This seemed to do the trick for me. I can even get Siri to activate with my arm fully extended.
Now I just need to figure out how to get notifications from texts to work, and to get the pictures of my favorite people circle back.

Ok GabZs, I tried what you suggested.
I hate to tell you but when I say "Hey Siri"... Siri will wait patiently until I start talking. If I say an incomplete phrase she gives me some sass, but she will wait until I say something. There was one time where the button popped up, but I don't know how to replicate it. I just kind of assumed it was for when Siri heard something but wasn't quite sure what it was.

However, if I activate Siri by holding the crown, she will only wait for a question or command for 2-5 seconds before she stops waiting. Also, pressing and continuing to hold the crown will bring up Siri, once the crown is let go Siri's waiting period ends as well.

Good luck to you man if you are having problems. I think Siri is one of the most important features for the watch, so getting it fully up and running is a big priority.

Siri works best for me when I just start talking fluently, like I would to another person. It's a bit irritating at first that the Watch display doesn't immediately reflect what I'm saying, but nevertheless it's listening and will catch up quickly (as long as the connection is good).

I am also having issues, but slightly different. My problem is that once I am done issuing a command siri continues to listen and never goes anywhere. So the raise of the wrist and "hey Siri, tell so and so this and that" all works, and I see the words appear... but the little audio waves continue to bounce and nothing happens for a long time until it just times out and shuts off.

Restarting my watch solved the problem but its pretty annoying to have to restart it every day or two. However, there will always be bugs with new products, and this watch has worked pretty well other than that.

Same here. "hey Siri" has worked for me maybe once out of the couple dozen times I've tried it. I've given up b/c I look like an idiot screaming HEY SIRI at my wrist.

Having the same issue. I did notice that she does work better if say "Hey Siri" immediately followed by your question or command. I'm still annoyed it's not that easy to get her to work because I feel it's an important way to interact with the watch.

My watch arrived today and when "hey siri" works, it works really well - however about 1/3 of the time "hey siri" does not bring up siri. I can sit there and say "hey siri" a dozen times and nothing. then five minutes later try it and it comes up every time. Seems that it's not very reliable yet. When it works, it works well though.

I like to joke that Siri works well the only problem is that she is hard of hearing lol.

CheZck this thread to repair your contact photos on Apple Watch not showing.

Pictures are missing on all Friends

After doing this on my wife's Apple Watch Sport, her contact photos returned. They were there the entire day when she first set up her Apple Watch, however the following day they were missing.

GoOD Luck!

HHave the same problem too. unoaired watch, re-paired, no better. Very irritating.
