I like Siri and when I ask "Hey Siri" it usually works. That being said, is it possible to disable Siri via the crown? I play golf, wear the watch and it never fails I call Siri during every swing (which is a lot considering where my game is now). I also take about 30 screen shots per round...So far I've been able to get around this by wearing it on the other wrist but I wonder if there isn't a better solution out there.
Thanks

Unfortunately it does not turn Siri off on the watch.
I'm sure you've found a solution by now. I had the same exact issue. My solution was to flip the watch over so the crown was on the left. Then go to your settings (settings -> general -> orientation) and switch the crown setting to the appropriate side.
It took a little bit of getting used to with the buttons on the opposite side, but it was better than calling Siri after every golf swing!
Hope this helps.
I have the same issue. The best workaround I've found is to turn off Siri in your phone settings during your round of golf (Settings > Siri). Doing this will disable Siri on your watch. You can then turn it back on when you're done with your round (if you want).
Hi
If you would like to send feedback or suggestions to Apple, you can do so here:
On your iPhone, do:
Settings > General > Siri = "Off"
This will turn Siri off on both the iPhone and Apple Watch.
I'd try wearing it slighty higher on your wrist, further from your hand. You may find you get a more accurate heart rate reading as well.
or wear the crown on the other side.....
I have the same issue with the crown but in yoga. Wearing the crown left or right it is still activated by the different styles of bends.
This is the most helpful answer. It would be nice to be able to disable Siri on just the watch.
Thanks for the link. I used that form to ask Apple for a feature allowing Siri to be disabled on the Apple Watch separately from the iPhone.
You're welcome! 🙂
